In January the pupils took part in a poster competition to design a character and motto to represent the Active School Project we are undertaking. Well done to our winner Lucy, who designed ‘Gary Grape’ and came up with the winning school motto – ‘Keep Fit At Least A Bit!’
All the pupils came to school today wearing green in readiness for the St. Patrick’s Day celebrations! Lots of fun for everyone as they made their St. Patricks Day artwork!
The children take part in a paired ready programme every year which gives the older and younger children the chance to work together to improve reading and language skills as part of a team.
Congratulations Lucy on being awarded your scholarship from Donegal County Council for the Gaeltacht Summer College 2019!
The children of 5th & 6th Classes took part in a basic cooking class on Shrove Tuesday and were happy to get to sample the pancakes after!
Our boys team competed in the southern final of the Cumann na mBunscol indoor football competition today. The boys played some great football and came second on the day. Well done boys!
As part of our Active School Project, we decided to run a ‘Christmas Mile With A Smile’ on our last day of school before the Christmas Holidays. All the children were feeling very festive in their Christmas jumpers and hats!
The children were all very excited on the last day of school to see Santa himself coming in for a visit! He gave a gift to each child and told them he would do his best to bring them what they wanted for Christmas! Great fun all round, followed by Assembly where there was plenty of singing and prizes given to various classes.
All the children in the school took part in our Christmas Nativity 2018 – ‘Straw & Order’ – a battle for the stable between the cows and the donkeys! The children and staff had great fun putting this nativity together and we hope everyone who came to see it enjoyed it as much as we did!
