Active Week Day 4 – Pupils Cycle
Active Week Day 4 – Pupils Cycle

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.

Súgradh le Chéile

Junior and Senior Infants were joined by their parents today in the hall for our annual Súgradh le Chéile workshop. We all had lots of fun playing games led by Eimear our Súgradh le Chéile tutor.

Official Opening of Artificial Playground

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.

Easter Egg Hunt

Junior and Senior Infants had an Easter egg hunt today. The eggs were all hidden along our Active School Walkway and we worked in teams to search for them. Great fun was had by all.

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!

Christmas Nativity

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!!

Great excitement in school for the Infants and 1st/2nd Classes! They went to Ballyshannon to see the Christmas Show “Elfie Saves Christmas!”. A great treat for them all – and thanks to our Parents Association, and in particular Roisín McFadden, for making this trip possible. They had a great day out!
