We had a very exciting day today! We made a skype call to Turkey! The boys and girls in Turkey are learning about play all over the world. They wanted to ask us some questions. We told them all about the games we love to play in Ireland and they told us about some of their favourite games. It was very exciting. Did you know that the boys in girls in Turkey love the Gangham Style dance. We all danced together and could see each other on the camera. Here are some of the photographs.

Our school has a very proactive approach to healthy lifestyles and environmentally friendly living. We worked hard to earn our first Green Flag. Currently our Healthy Green School’s Committee is working hard to lead our school towards our second Green Flag. Pictures below show our Healthy Green School’s Committee and their efforts in leading our drive to have a green, clean, healthy school.
Greenmount’s link with the famous Barrack Street Band means that we are lucky to have our very own Junior Brass Band. This year the band has performed for the Lord Mayor of Cork and on the City Hall stage on two occasions. Their success has seen them gracing the front page of the Evening Echo as well as having been featured in two other national newspapers.
