Our Active School Committee drew up a rota for the use of P.E. Equipment in the playground at lunchtimes.
The Active Agents in each class brought out the equipment every day and ensured that it was brought back inside afterwards. The children had great fun playing with the hoops, beanbags, scoops and balls and their skipping skills have improved immensely!
BECAUSE OUR DIFFERENCES ARE WHAT MAKE US GREAT
March 21st is World Down Syndrome Awareness day and the day is marked by people wearing mismatched socks. We invited all the pupils and staff to wear mismatched socks to school – ‘Because our differences are what make us great’. Ryan and Alana came to school with rice krispie buns for everyone which were made by Ryan and Alana, with the help of Mum Paula and sister Amy. Thank you for the lovely treats!
As part of our Active School Flag process, we invited a coach from our local GAA Club, St. Naul’s, to come along and provide coaching in gaelic football for all classes. As you can see from the photographs, the children had lots of fun while learning new skills. Thank you Donie!
The coach from our local Golf Club in Murvagh came to the school to teach some golfing skills to the children from 3rd-6th Classes. They learned how to hold the golf club, the correct stance and how to hit a ball! Great fun had by all. Thanks to Leslie for coming in.
All the pupils came to school today wearing green in readiness for the St. Patrick’s Day celebrations! Lots of fun for everyone as they made their St. Patricks Day artwork!
The children take part in a paired ready programme every year which gives the older and younger children the chance to work together to improve reading and language skills as part of a team.
Congratulations Lucy on being awarded your scholarship from Donegal County Council for the Gaeltacht Summer College 2019!
The children of 5th & 6th Classes took part in a basic cooking class on Shrove Tuesday and were happy to get to sample the pancakes after!
The children took part in the cross country county finals. We had lots of medal winners on the day and all the children had great fun.
