Great excitement at school today following the fantastic performances by all the pupils at the two Nativity Shows yesterday. Firstly we held our Christmas assembly where we were treated to some solo and group performances by all the class groups. Then Santa came to visit! We were delighted to welcome Santa to the school again this year and would like to thank him for coming to see us all. Happy Christmas everyone!!
Some of our pupils baked and iced cookies today at school – well done boys, they were delicious!
The children of 1st & 2nd Classes enjoyed working with clay to make some Christmas decorations!
The children from 3rd-6th Classes made a much welcomed return to The Diamond in Donegal Town today as the school took part in the carol singing organised by Donegal Town Business Focus Group. Mrs McDaid, as always, was the choir leader and the children represented the school excellently. Well done to all the boys and girls who took part, and thank you to Donegal Town Business Focus Group for the treats for the children after they had finished singing – much appreciated!
A very successful fundraising tractor run took place at the school yesterday. This is the first time we have held such a fundraiser and it will definitely be an annual event from here on! Great to see such a large turnout and we look forward to seeing everyone again next year! Thanks to everyone who supported this fundraiser.
All the children braved the elements today and enjoyed their GAA training with Donie from St. Naul’s GAA & LGFA Club.

Best of luck to everyone who took part, and thanks for your support.
Junior & Senior Infants made scones today. We all took turns at mixing and kneading the dough. Then everyone cut out a scone and we baked them in the oven. After lunch we got to eat our scones and they were delicious!
5th Class visited Junior Infants this week and read them stories. They also helped the Infants to make jigsaws. Everyone worked really well together.
