Inclusion was the theme of this weeks Friendship Week at Scoil Naomh Pádraig.
All pupils engaged in numerous fun filled activities promoting friendships both inside and outside the classroom.
Friendship Week commenced with pupils in all classes playing a game called “Secret Pals”.
Each pupil picked a name (one of their peers) out of a hat and secretly monitored that pupil for the week.
Secret Pals were revealed at the end of the week.
The Friendship Trail promoted friendship between classrooms with every senior pupil accompanying a
junior pupil as they walked the Friendship Trail.
Messages about friendship were on display all around the grounds of Scoil Naomh Pádraig, along
with clues providing the location of the next poster.
The pupils clocked up their “steps” as they explored every inch of Scoil Naomh Pádraig trying to locate clues.
Their faces beamed with excitement as they tried to guess the location of the next friendship message.
Finally, all the pupils of Scoil Naomh Pádraig designed and labelled a jigsaw piece.
All jigsaw pieces will collectively be assembled to create the Scoil Naomh Pádraig Jigsaw Puzzle, which is on display in the school.
The jigsaw includes all members of our school community promoting friendship and companionship amongst all.
