We were absolutely delighted to welcome paralympic champions Katie-George Dunlevy and Linda Kelly to school this morning as they spoke to the children about their careers and showed them not only their olympic medals but also their recent gold medals from the paracycling road world championships. To hear the inspiring stories of the success of these ladies after a very challenging year certainly brought about much pride for them within the school. We are always proud of our Irish athletes and to have one with a connection to the Parish of Inver who was so kind as to come to school to showcase their medals is certainly a memory for the pupils here to treasure. Our thanks to Katie-George and Linda – well done to you both!
A very busy day today during our Active Week saw our pupils cycle take place! The Infants, 1st & 2nd Class Pupils carried out cycling activities on the school yards, while the pupils from 3rd-6th Classes went on a cycle to The Warren beach in Inver. Luckily the weather was kind to us for the day and we were able to get all our activities completed. Our thanks to Sean Gallagher, who has been instrumental in organising all of our cycling activities over the past number of years – and this year was no exception. Thanks also to everyone else who helped out today.
Our 3rd-6th Classes took time out of lessons for their school tour today. They went to Inish Adventures in Moville where, as you can see, they had a great day!
We were delighted to be able to officially open our artificial playground this morning, with guests of honour Brendan McCole and Gavin Mulreany – past pupils and members of the Donegal County GAA Senior Panel. We were also happy to welcome Cllrs. Noel Jordan, Michael Naughton and Tom Conaghan, who were all supporters of our fundraising to build our new facility. Our thanks to our parents and the whole school community for all their hard work in getting us to this stage – amenities like this would not be possible without the continued support we receive locally. A big well done to all the children who provided music and singing for the audience – they have been working very hard recently and, as always, represented the school very well.
3rd and 4th Classes learned all about the Titanic and made replicas using recycled materials as part of STEM projects.
As we celebrated the feast of St. Brigid this week, the annual making of the crosses took place. Great work by everyone!
Not much of a snow covering here in Inver but we made the most of what we had!
3rd & 4th Classes had fun making 3D shapes out of lollipop sticks and Blutak. Some good examples of cuboids and square based pyramids.
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!!
