A Splash of Colour in the Junior Building! 🌈☀️
Our whole Junior Building enjoyed a wonderful tie-dye workshop today, transforming plain white T-shirts into vibrant works of art. Our fantastic 3rd Class pupils helped and encouraged the younger children throughout theactivity. A special thank you to Mrs Humphreys for organising such a memorable experience.
With the sun shining brightly, there was no better place to get creative than our beautiful garden. The children loved choosing their colours, experimenting with patterns, and watching their designs come to life. It was a joyful day filled with creativity, collaboration, and plenty of colourful fun! 👕🎨🌸
Recently, 3rd Class enjoyed a special breakfast in the Senior Building, kindly organised by the Parents’ Council, as they prepare for their move to 4th Class after the summer holidays! ☀️ 🌺
4th Class have been learning a range of sewing skills this year. They practised the running stitch, split stitch, back stitch and chain stitch. They even made sock puppets and put on a puppet show featuring their appliquéd creations. If you ever need something mended, they are the ones to call!
Ms Lane’s class went to meet the ponies Millie and Elvis and had a treat!

Our 4th Class pupils thoroughly enjoyed taking part in An Post’s Letter to My Future Self initiative. They loved the opportunity to write letters to themselves, which will be posted back to them next year. The children reflected thoughtfully on their hopes, dreams, goals and aspirations for the coming year. It was a wonderful activity that encouraged self-reflection, positive thinking and excitement about the future.

Two unforgettable days in Blarney! ✨
We were delighted to welcome GAA players Eddie Gibbons (Dublin), Killian Sampson (Offaly), Aaron Niland (Galway) and our very own past pupil Mark Coleman (Cork) to Scoil Chroí Íosa as the GAA filmed for the All-Ireland Hurling Championship.
The children loved interviewing the players, getting autographs and hearing Mark reminisce about his Sciath na Scol days with us 🔴⚪️
Today, the excitement continued with a brilliant hurling skills demo from our pupils. Plenty of fun and future stars on show! 🌟
What a memorable experience for our whole community!
