We had an exciting visit to see the swans this week as part of active schools week. We were very lucky that the swans and the new baby cygnets were just about to go for a swim along the river when we came so we saw them all. We are so looking forward to seeing the cygnets grow over the summer.

One of the boys in our class had to finish early for summer this year so the boys made him some beautiful cards. The boys in first class have been brilliant this year at showing kindness and friendship.

This morning, we went on our first class trip down to see the swans and cygnets. We had a pit stop at the playground and lots of fun was had! We could only see the swans from a distance but instead, some ducks and ducklings swam by to say hello! We had a great morning.

The boys had great fun today visiting the swans and ducks in Oranmore. With this week being active schools week, they also enjoyed getting active by rolling on the hills and running a few laps of the big pitch beside the school.

Scoil Iósaif Naofa is a vibrant and multicultural community which embraces all creeds, religions and backgrounds while promoting our Catholic ethos.
We promote an appreciation and love of Irish culture and language while also forging a knowledge of and respect for other cultures within our school.

Our pupils thrive because they are supported, encouraged, cared for and given a real sense of belonging.
