As is a tradition every year, the children of 3rd-6th Classes assemble to treat the shoppers of Donegal Town to their wonderful singing! The children have been working very hard with Mrs McDaid over the past number of weeks and, despite the weather, enjoyed every moment! Well done to all the boys and girls, and of course Mrs McDaid.
Everyone entered into the “spirit” of things this Halloween when all the pupils wore their Halloween costumes to school for the day. Some great costumes were on show – well done to the children (and their make up artists!).
The pupils from 5th & 6th Classes enjoyed maths games this week as part of Maths Week.
Some of the pupils from our 5th & 6th Classes gathered fallen leaves and bark from the side of our school yard and relocated some of it to a suitable location to create a space for a hedgehog nest area.
As we begin our final preparations for our Green Schools Biodiversity Flag application, we welcomed our Green Schools Committee to their first meeting of the new school year. They are working very hard to help us obtain our next flag – well done everyone!!
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!
Congratulations to our boys soccer team, who competed today in the Primary 7s competition in Letterkenny. The boys won all four group games and went on to win the final on penalties. Well done boys!
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!
The pupils of 5th & 6th Classes learned about the election process this week. They were separated into various political parties and campaigned through the school to gain the votes of the pupils and staff. On election day we set up the full election procedure to show everyone how the voting process works. Lessons learned all around!
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.
