Niamh from the Donegal Sports Partnership came to the school today as part of the Ag Sugradh le Chéile project, which aims to promote active play between parents and children. The parents/grandparents of the Junior and Senior Infants were invited to school and as you can see from the photographs – a lot of fun was had by all!
Junior and Senior Infants had great fun today doing circuits with the pupils from 5th & 6th Classes.
Inland Fisheries Ireland visited the school recently to teach the pupils a little bit about fish, water, angling and the environment. After a presentation given to the 5th & 6th Class pupils, everyone got a chance to have a look at the various fish! As you can seen from the photographs, everyone from Infants all the way up to 6th Class was very interested in Something Fishy!
The pupils of 5th & 6th Classes did some colouring work with the Infant Classroom this week.
The Infant Class are learning about nature and biodiversity and have been busy planting their seeds!
Junior and Senior Infants enjoyed a daily extra playtime this week as a reward for filling their ‘Bucket of Kindness’ during lent. Good fun was had by all and the pupils have been practising ball skills, skipping, balancing etc., using the school’s P.E. equipment. Thankfully the weather has been on our side!
We had a very active day at school today to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day! All the children have been learning Irish and Céilí Dancing for the past week or two and all the new skills learned were put into practice as the children took part in their céilí. We also held our annual parade on the school yard, accompanied by our brilliant musicians. Lots of art and crafts went home, as well as certificates for Seachtain na Gaeilge Well done everyone! All in all a great fun day at school today. Click below for photographs and videos.

The pupils in Junior & Senior Infants brought their favourite books to school today for World Book Day. They showed their books to the class and told everyone what their book was about and why they chose it. Senior Infants completed a book review and drew their favourite illustration from the book.
We also designed our own bookmarks and cut them out when we were finished.
Junior & Senior Infants made scones today. We all took turns at mixing and kneading the dough. Then everyone cut out a scone and we baked them in the oven. After lunch we got to eat our scones and they were delicious!
5th Class visited Junior Infants this week and read them stories. They also helped the Infants to make jigsaws. Everyone worked really well together.
