Well done to all of them. Congratulations also to all children from 3rd and 4th class who were excellent at singing and playing music on the day.

Bookfair/Literacy Week: Scoil Bhreac Chluain recently had a book fair. Thanks to all the pupils and parents and especially to Liz O'Leary and Josephine O'Shea who helped make it a great success. We are able to spend €900 on books for the school. To mark the arrival of the book fair and emphasise the enjoyment and fun in reading we also had a literacy week. This involved activities such as buddy reading system which has gone down very well with all the children young and old. The literacy week continues this week.  

Féile na Bealtaine: Scoil Bhreac Chluain has again been invited to participate in the Féile na Bealtaine parade which will take in Dingle on Sunday May 6th at 12 noon. Last year was a great success and we encourage as many children as possible to get involved. The theme this year is Tom Crean and the Antarctic. Our school will be representing a "snowstorm". Next week a local artist, Úna Ní Shé and two Pobal Scoil students will visit the school to help with the artwork. Children will need to wear white or light blue clothing on the day of the parade.
