Welcome

🌟 Fabulous Junior Infants in Action! 🌟 Our Junior Infant class is giving a lovely glimpse of what school life looks like for our future infants. From enjoying their classroom to playing together in the playground, they show how friendships grow, confidence builds and learning happens every day. 📅 Open Day – Wednesday, February 11th Families interested in enrolling are very welcome to visit the school, meet our staff and see learning in action. We’d love to welcome our next group of Junior Infants! 🎒✨

✨ Hands-On Maths in Action! ✨ Learning through activity and exploration is at the heart of our school. Recently, pupils across different class levels enjoyed engaging, hands-on Maths lessons. 👶 Junior Infants explored capacity through play-based Maths and Science activities, using containers to compare more, less and the same. 📐 4th Class pupils took part in Maths stations, working collaboratively on practical problem-solving tasks. These active lessons support mathematical understanding while building curiosity, confidence and enjoyment in learning 🌟 #ActiveLearning #HandsOnMaths #LearningThroughPlay

🌿 Joe Walsh Greenway Walk 🌿 Ms O’Donovan’s and Mr Daly’s classes took full advantage of the lovely weather on Thursday with a walk along the Joe Walsh Greenway. The Greenway is a much-valued community walkway in our town and provided the perfect setting for pupils to enjoy fresh air, stay active and take in their surroundings. A great opportunity for movement, wellbeing and outdoor learning — all while enjoying one of Clonakilty’s fantastic local amenities 👟☀️ #OutdoorLearning #ActiveSchools #JoeWalshGreenway #ScoilnamBuachaillí

🎢🌳 Lucky to Have Clonakilty Playground Next Door! 🌳🎢 One of the best parts of school life at Scoil na mBuachaillí is having Clonakilty Playground right on our doorstep. Today, Junior Infants and First Class took full advantage of a lovely January day, enjoying plenty of fresh air, movement, and smiles. Climbing, swinging, balancing, running and laughing might look like “just fun” — but it also helps children reset, build confidence, and head back to class happier and ready to learn 😊 Most of all, the playground is a joyful place where friendships grow and imaginations run wild. We’re so lucky to have such a fantastic neighbour and to make it part of our school day 💚 #LearningThroughPlay #Clonakilty #HappyLearners #OutdoorFun #ScoilNaMBuachaillí

🌟 Discovering Clonakilty with 2nd class 🌟 Mr. Crowley's 2nd class had a wonderful opportunity to step beyond the classroom and explore our town of Clonakilty through a History and Maths Trail. The children enjoyed discovering local landmarks, using maths in real-life settings, and learning about the rich history of our town, all while working together and having great fun. The trail was facilitated by Mr Ciarán Crowley and Ms Karen O’Regan, and the excitement was doubled when the pupils were lucky enough to meet Mayor Conan O’Donovan — a familiar face to many of them as the person who trains them at GAA every Wednesday! 🏐😊 A lovely example of learning, community, and connection coming together 💚 #LearningBeyondTheClassroom #Clonakilty #CommunityConnections #ActiveLearning Clonakilty Mayoral Council Clonakilty GAA Club Clonakilty Notice Board
