On Friday the 3rd of March, Dromahane National school celebrated world book day. It was a very enjoyable day!!  The children, parents and the staff all dressed up as characters from different books. The senior classes had a talk from author Kieran Crowley and the junior classes had Rory from Mallow library  read extracts from some great books. All classes really enjoyed listening to our speakers. We also had a book sale which was organised by the Parent’s association. The children got to buy some extra reading material and we also raised money for the school!! Thank you to our two speakers and the parents for organising a great day!!! Here are some pictures from the day……

On Friday the 3rd of March, Dromahane National school celebrated world book day. It was a very enjoyable day!! Here are the staff  all dressed up! Can you guess who is who??

The students of 6th class have worked diligently over the last couple of months under the guidance of their teacher Ms.Brennan to create entrepreneurial businesses as part of the Junior Entrepreneur Programme. The class were divided into groups and each group set out to create a real business conceived from scratch with real products and services to attract real customers who pay for what is produced.

The ideas created were excellent and varied from calendars, to coasters, to Dromahane’s own version of Monopoly ‘Dromopoly’ . The deciding vote was cast by our three dragons: Mr. Murray, Ms. O’Sullivan and a special guest dragon Jim Barry of Barry Group, Mallow. The decision was tough but was made and the winning group together with all of 6th class will bring their business to the Junior Entrepreneur Showcase Day.

A special thank you to Jim Barry who took the time to come and see our projects!!

Every student of D.N.S was out in force on Friday the 10th of February to take part in Operation Transformation’s 10 minutes of exercise at 10 o’clock!! We completed a variety of exercises including jumping jacks, lunges and squats. We ensured that we were fully active for the full ten minutes!! Everyone really enjoyed participating and we hope to incorporate whole school initiatives like this more frequently into our busy school life! It was a lot of fun! Here are some pictures from the morning!!!

Senior Infants performed their Christmas play in Dromahane Church just before the holidays. It was a fantastic performance by all the children and an enjoyable night for all who attended.  Well done to Mr. Dunne for all his hard work and to all the children who were superb!!!

Here are some pictures from the night…

The boys and girls of Junior infants put on a fantastic performance in their Christmas Nativity. It was thoroughly enjoyed by all.  Well done to all the children and to Ms. Murphy and Mary for all their hard work.

 

5th Class students were recent participants in the Cork Heritage History Project. The class were divided into groups and each group investigated a different aspect of our local history. Areas included;  Blarney Castle, Bweeng during 1916, Famine houses, The history of Kilshannig G.A.A, The history of Kilshannig Ladies football, Mallow Castle, Nazareth house and Róilig Padraig graveyard. As well and completing a 3 dimensional construction, each group also completed a portfolio outlining why they chose the project and disclosing the information they discovered while undertaking the projects. Each project was completed to a high standard under the excellent guidance of Ms. Cronin. The projects made us all more aware of the vast history we have so close to home

Here are some pictures of our projects. Check out our 5th Class page to see more!!
