We were delighted this morning when Santa decided to pop in to the school to see everyone. He very kindly brought all the children a little gift and reminded them all to be kind. Thank you Santa!
The children have been working very hard over the past weeks on their performance of the Christmas Nativity. Mrs Gavigan and Mrs McDaid, as always, put together a great show, with the assistance of the whole school staff. A great turnout of family members came along for both shows, finishing with our annual Christmas Hampers Draw organised by the Parents Association. A great end to 2023 – well done everyone!!
Great excitement in school for the Infants and 1st/2nd Classes! They went to Ballyshannon to see the Christmas Show “Elfie Saves Christmas!”. A great treat for them all – and thanks to our Parents Association, and in particular Roisín McFadden, for making this trip possible. They had a great day out!
Science Week continued with an experiment to teach the pupils about volcanoes.
Science Week began in earnest today in the 1st & 2nd Classroom – first experiment of the week!
As is normal practice every Friday, the whole school took part in GAA training with Donie from St. Naul’s GAA. This week, however, things took a spooky turn as all sorts of characters turned up to train! Our thanks as always to Donie for being such a good sport!
A treat for everyone today at school as Master O’Donnell organised for the ice cream van to come along!
SPORTS DAY! …… The sun came out and all the pupils had an action packed day. Everyone split up into their allocated colours to make up four teams, each consisting of a mix of pupils ranging from Junior Infants all the way up to 6th Class.
We did …. * Wake Up Shake up (the whole school)
* Sprints (all classes boys/girls)
* Egg & Spoon Races (all classes)
* Skipping Races (all Classes)
* Throw the Wellie (3rd-6th Classes)
* Parachute Games (1st & 2nd Classes)
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!
