Our 5th & 6th Class Pupils always enjoy working with our Infant Class and today they spent some time reading together.
The school were delighted to be represented in the Féile Fichille Chess Tournament today in the Abbey Hotel in Donegal Town. All of our pupils represented the school excellently and had a great day out. Our thanks to Mr. McDermott for organising this.
We were delighted to welcome Paddy Boyle to the school recently. Paddy has always been a great supporter of the school and came along to talk to the 5th and 6th Classes about past times – and even took the time to play a few card games with them! Thanks to Paddy and Breda for spending some time with us.
Our school quiz teams took part in the annual Credit Union Quiz on Monday 9th February at the Abbey Hotel. A great night was had by all!
Barry Doherty of the Flood Risk Management Department of the Office of Public Works came to the school today to show the children a fun Lego catchment model to explain flood relief strategies.
The children always enjoy the annual tradition of making St. Brigids Crosses and this year was no different.
The upcoming Presidential Election gave the pupils the opportunity to learn about the election process in Ireland by carrying out their own mock election. The candidates worked hard to try and secure the votes of the pupils who voted on the day and the election officials were on hand to ensure a smooth voting process. As for the winner? Rumour has it the votes are still being counted ……!
We had a special little visitor to the school today as Fionn and Odhráns Daddy brought in a spring lamb for the children to see. Everyone was very excited to see the lamb. Our thanks to Seamus for taking the time to bring it in.
As part of our Green Schools project on Biodiversity, we planted various species of trees at the school. We were helped by students from the AVS who were here as part of their TY work experience.
We are continuing our Say Yes To Languages program. Everyone is really enjoying it!
