Friendship Week 2016

On Friday, at a special Assembly to celebrate Friendship Week, a young pupil said, "Every week should be a Friendship Week!"
And, how right she is! We want to keep the spirit of friendship alive in our school every minute of every day, every week, this year and every year.
Friendship Week coordinator, Mrs Woulfe thanked everybody for the great work they did to make the week a great success.
Running order for the Friendship Assembly in the School Hall:
Ms Noonan's Class (assisted by Miss Foley): 'The Friendship Poem' (and a display of some wonderful artwork by Junior Infants and Senior Infants)
Mrs Woulfe's Class: Song (full class) - 'The More We Get Together,'  Readings of reports entitled, 'My Best Friend' by Oluchi, Annie, Kelly, Lilymae, Jack and Oscar...
Mrs Russell's Class: Song (full class) - 'Gift of a Friend.'  Poems - readings of newly composed poems about friends and friendship by Kyle, Shannan, Ellen, Éabha, Kailey & Ava...
Mr Bulfin: Song (full class)- 'Consider Yourself.' Friendship games (Six 3rd Class pupils describe 6 different games to promote inclusiveness and cooperation)
Mr. Nestor's Class: Friendship poems (5 new poems by five 4th Class pupils). Friendship essays (30 essays by 4th & 5th Class pupils on display in the School Hall)
Mr. O Connor's Class: 'Silent Drama' (Group mimes by 5th & 6th Class pupils, designed to get pupils to guess the friendship mottos in question before the answers are revealed... (clue: one of the mimes involves selotape - a lot of selotape - and the motto might have something to do with 'friends' and 'sticking together' ... !
