🌱💛 This Month’s Activity: Junior Infants & 6th Class Planting! Building on the connections from our recent buddy check-ins, this week our Junior Infants and 6th Class came together for a planting activity 🌿🤝. The older pupils visited the Junior Infants’ classroom to work together on their planting projects 🌱🤝. They collaborated with their younger buddies planting and creating something they can nurture and enjoy for weeks to come 🌸✨. This activity is a wonderful continuation of our Amber Flag initiative, promoting positive mental health, empathy, and supportive relationships across the school 🌈💪. We’re so proud of our pupils for showing kindness, leadership, and teamwork and we look forward to many more shared experiences! 🌞🌱 #JuniorInfants #6thClass #BuddyProgram #PlantingTogether #AmberFlag #PositiveMentalHealth #EmpathyInAction #SchoolCommunity #LearningTogether #Kindness #SupportiveSchool #SchoolLife #OutdoorLearning

🌱 Exciting News from 3rd Class! 🌱 We’re thrilled to share that our 3rd Class has been invited to take part in the wonderful Roots of Empathy programme! 💚 This inspiring programme helps children learn about feelings — their own and those of others — by observing and connecting with a real baby right in the classroom. Every three weeks, a baby and parent will visit, and under the guidance of Mrs. Elaine Connolly, a trained Roots of Empathy instructor, the children will watch the baby grow and learn through kindness, care and curiosity. Today, we welcomed our very special visitors — Beautiful Baby Éabha and her amazing mum, Margaret! 👶💖 And what a perfect day to begin — World Kindness Day! 💫 We can’t wait to watch Baby Éabha grow and to see empathy and kindness blossom in our classroom all year long. 🌼 #RootsofEmpathy #WorldKindnessDay #KindnessMatters #3rdClass #SchoolCommunity #LearningThroughLove

🌍💛 Happy World Kindness Day! 💛🌍 Today we celebrate World Kindness Day — a wonderful reminder that even the smallest act of kindness can make a big difference! 🌎✨ At our school, kindness is at the heart of everything we do. Each year, we begin our school year with this very message, as our amazing school secretary Noreen Collins reads Spike Milligan’s beautiful poem “Smile” — a gentle reflection on how one simple smile can brighten the world. 😊💫 🌟 Exciting news! In honour of today’s international observance encouraging acts of kindness, compassion, and goodwill towards others (and ourselves), we’re thrilled to launch our December “Pass on the Kindness” initiative! Throughout December, students are encouraged to make pledges and carry out acts of kindness — spreading positivity and goodwill across our school community. 💛 And to make it even more exciting… all participants will be entered into a draw for a grand prize: a family pass to the Panto! 🎭✨ 🎥 Check out this lovely video of some of our pupils sharing what kindness means to them — with special thanks to Ms. Karen O’Regan for putting it together! Let’s keep living that message today and every day — spreading kindness through our words, actions, and smiles! 💕 #WorldKindnessDay #PassOnTheKindness #SchoolCommunity #KindnessMatters #BeKind
