Our new Bird Boxes were installed today. It will be great for the pupils to see the birds coming and going as they build their nests. Our thanks to Mrs McDaid, our Green Schools Co-Ordinator, for organising the boxes.
Today we were delighted to welcome our Spanish Tutor Vivian to the school to start our new ‘Say Yes To Languages’ Programme. Vivian will be here for ten weeks teaching Spanish to the pupils of 3rd-6th Classes. Everyone is off to a great start!
Today in the 3rd & 4th Classroom we made St. Brigid Crosses. A skill that the children enjoyed learning.
The Green Schools Committee were out today checking the bug hotel for storm damage.
They were also identifying suitable locations for new bird boxes and hanging baskets.
The pupils of 1st and 2nd Classes went on a nature walk today to see what species of birds they could find. They also visited our bug hotel to see if there were any new residents!

The children of 3rd and 4th Classes collected hollow plant stems, rocks, bricks, small branches, twigs, wood, pine cones, plant pots and leaves to make their bug hotel. Our thanks to Mr. McDermott’s father for helping us with our project!
The hotel is now open for business – cheap rates available!!
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.
1st and 2nd Classes made some rainbows with skittles. We also made a volcano which caused an eruption! We have some budding scientists in this room!
