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!
Junior and Senior Infants came to school all dressed up today! They had a pumpkin hunt and got to blow bubbles and run after them to pop them!
As is normal practice every Friday, the whole school took part in GAA training with Donie from St. Naul’s GAA. This week, however, things took a spooky turn as all sorts of characters turned up to train! Our thanks as always to Donie for being such a good sport!
We went on a maths trails this week to look for different shapes around the school. We found lots!
The pupils from 3rd & 4th Classes came to the Infant room and helped us to play maths and phonics games on the iPads.
We have been learning about our five senses. We went on a five senses walk but we could only use four of our senses outside. The we discovered POPCORN! We would see, hear, touch, smell and taste it when we made it in class.
A treat for everyone today at school as Master O’Donnell organised for the ice cream van to come along!
SPORTS DAY! …… The sun came out and all the pupils had an action packed day. Everyone split up into their allocated colours to make up four teams, each consisting of a mix of pupils ranging from Junior Infants all the way up to 6th Class.
