Our U11 girls Indoor Football Team competed in the County Indoor Football final blitz in Burnfoot on Monday 12th December. The girls qualified for this by winning the Southern Division and competed against five other regional winners on the day. The girls defeated Glengad and Fintown to progress to the County Final against Scoil Iosagaín Buncrana, where they were defeated by the smallest of margins 1-08 to 1-07. As this competition was open to all schools in Donegal it was a great achievement as the girls were competing against much larger schools. 48 schools took part in the competition so well done to our girls on a great achievement!
On 2nd December a group of children from 3rd-6th Classes were invited to Donegal Town by the Donegal Town Business Focus Group. They were asked to sing some carols and Christmas songs on the Diamond. A great time was had by all!

Around two weeks ago Declan and Jim from Coillte came in the morning and talked to Mrs McCallig’s class and Mr O’Donnell’s class. We went outside and they taught us about all the different types of trees like the Birch, Oak and the Rowan tree. Jim and Declan taught us how to plant the trees with a special spade and then we planted a couple beside the yard. Some of us even got to name the trees after themselves. The 5th and 6th class pupils even got to take a tree home and plant it at their house.

We had a very good day out in Lifford at the Primary Schools Cross Country County Finals. All the children ran a great race and we came home with team winners medals for the U9 girls, U11 boys and U11 girls.
Our U11 Girls team came home as Small Schools Cross Country County Champions, while our U9 Girls team came second and our U11 Boys team came third.
Everyone was delighted with their performance and we are very proud of them all – the whole school came out to welcome them back on their arrival!
Well done everyone!
