🎃For Halloween this year we decided to be part of the #TrickorTreat4SickChildren, a Fundraiser supported by MiWadi Ireland to raise vital funds for all the sick Boys and Girls in 3 of the most wonderful Children's Hospitals in ireland- Temple Street, Crumlin & Connolly. 🎃

🎃All our Boys and Girls did an amazing job of dressing up in the most Spooktacular costumes, from Pumpkins and Penguins to Witches and Wizards! We raised over €500 for the cause, and would like to thank each and everyone of you for your support, this is a charity so close to many of our hearts.🎃

Feeling very grateful here in Bright Sparks today on our 17th anniversary! Thanks a million to all our friends and families who have walked through the doors of Bright Sparks these past 17 years, you have been so supportive. 

🐮 Last Friday, here we had two very special guests come to visit!! A big Thank You to our local Farmer, Kevin Flynn, for taking the time out of his busy day to bring down his two little calves, to visit the boys and girls! Everyone had great fun feeding and looking after the animals 🐮

Our Green Schools Committee are busy bees learning all about growing their own plants and vegetables! Here we have some of our committee members in our outdoor classroom, checking out how much their plants have grown 🦋

Letter upon letter, email upon email, Our long awaited set down area is finally ready for parents, dropping off and collecting at Bright Sparks. A huge thank you to Cork County Council for developing this set down area outside of Bright sparks which will hopefully make life much easier in the mornings and evenings for busy Moms and Dads. We would also like to express our gratitude to surrounding residents and road users for their patience and cooperation. 

Yesterday was a magical day for all our children and staff in Bright Sparks, as we created our very own Christmas movie. Inlight of these challenging times it is unfortunate that we are unable to allow our families and friends come into our school to share the christmas spirit. This year we had to comprise and to do this we created a movie that would allow our friends and families get an insight into our school lives as we prepare for Christmas. Each class shared their very own special performance which they had been rehearsing for weeks, we had lots music, singing and dancing to spread the christmas cheer. We hope our families and friends loved our Christmas Movie just as much as we did.
