Everyone entered into the “spirit” of things this Halloween when all the pupils wore their Halloween costumes to school for the day. Some great costumes were on show – well done to the children (and their make up artists!).
The pupils from 5th & 6th Classes enjoyed maths games this week as part of Maths Week.
The pupils of 1st & 2nd Classes had great fun using the bee bots for maths week!
Some of the pupils from our 5th & 6th Classes gathered fallen leaves and bark from the side of our school yard and relocated some of it to a suitable location to create a space for a hedgehog nest area.
As we begin our final preparations for our Green Schools Biodiversity Flag application, we welcomed our Green Schools Committee to their first meeting of the new school year. They are working very hard to help us obtain our next flag – well done everyone!!
We were absolutely delighted to welcome paralympic champions Katie-George Dunlevy and Linda Kelly to school this morning as they spoke to the children about their careers and showed them not only their olympic medals but also their recent gold medals from the paracycling road world championships. To hear the inspiring stories of the success of these ladies after a very challenging year certainly brought about much pride for them within the school. We are always proud of our Irish athletes and to have one with a connection to the Parish of Inver who was so kind as to come to school to showcase their medals is certainly a memory for the pupils here to treasure. Our thanks to Katie-George and Linda – well done to you both!
Congratulations to our bicycle draw winners Odhrán, Ciabhán & Saoirse – whose card was drawn as the winning entrants to our competition. Well done! Thank you to everyone who supported our draw, the proceeds of which will go towards the installation of our new sensory garden. The support of our school community is very much appreciated.
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.
We were delighted to welcome some of the Naomh Naille Senior Ladies to the school. The team recently won the Comórtas Peile na Gaeltachta na mBan Sóisear and came to show their trophy to the pupils. It was great to welcome the ladies – and wonderful to see some of our past pupils among them. Congratulations to Naomh Naille Ladies.
