3rd & 4th Classes are completing the planets of the solar system for Science Week!
After a number of years fundraising to install an artificial playground at the school – we finally have it!! The pupils of 5th & 6th Classes were eager to try out the new surface – which has proven to be a big hit! We will be holding an official opening in the coming months and look forward to seeing our whole school community there.
We have been learning about our five senses. We went on a five senses walk but we could only use four of our senses outside. The we discovered POPCORN! We would see, hear, touch, smell and taste it when we made it in class.
We took part in the annual cross country event at Donegal Town Rugby Club, kindly organised by Tir Conaill Athletics Club. All the pupils gave their all in the events, and we were delighted to come back with some medals – well done everyone!!
A treat for everyone today at school as Master O’Donnell organised for the ice cream van to come along!
Our Bike Draw took place today. Congratulations to Katelyn & Dara McLaughlin – our winners! Thanks to everyone who has supported us in this fundraising draw. A big thank you also to Sean Gallagher for all his help in organising our school cycle every year.

Our Parents Association annual fundraising cycle/walk/run took place on Sunday 18th June with a great turnout as always. Our thanks to Sean Gallagher and the Parents Association for their organising of this event every year. It is always a very successful fundraiser for the school. Our thanks also to Brenda Gallagher of Brenda’s Beauty Salon for her sponsorship of fruit for the refreshments, and to all the parents who came along to help on the day and who donated refreshment items. We are edging ever closer to completing our artificial playground at the school!
An action packed school tour took place last week as we visited Rockhill Holiday Park. The children took part in a number of activities, and as you can see from the photographs, they had a great day with smiles all around! Thanks to all the parents who came along on the tour – we hope you enjoyed the day as well!
