How lucky are we to have such a kind and caring Grandad looking after them? It really says so much about the warm, community spirit here in SNB 🌼 And let’s be honest—between the hens, Noreen, Finbarr and all our wonderful staff… everyone has more than earned this well-deserved break! ☀️ Wishing everyone a lovely Easter—enjoy a few snaps of our hens living their best “hen-cation” life 🐣

🐣🌷 A Wonderful Easter Morning for Junior Infants! 🌷🐣 Our Junior Infants had a truly magical morning today! They started their day with a visit to the Cork County Council Library & Arts Service library alongside 4th Class, where the boys enjoyed being read some lovely stories 📚✨ Next stop was the Sensory Garden, where they joined their 6th Class Playground Pals for a very exciting Easter egg hunt! 🐰🍫 A big thank you to Ms O’Shea and Ms Horgan for organising, and to James McCarthy and the 6th Class boys for helping make it so much fun. The boys also did a great job litter picking afterwards ♻️ before heading back to school to enjoy their well-earned Easter eggs! A fantastic morning full of fun, teamwork and smiles 😊💛 — the perfect way to finish Term 2! Clonakilty Tidy Towns
