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!
As always, the school community here at St. Naul’s have come together to support Team Hope with their Christmas Shoe Box Appeal. Here are our Junior and Senior Infants with some of the large number of boxes received. Thank you to everyone who supported Team Hope this year. There are many children who will have a big smile on their face when they receive their box from St. Naul’s N.S.!
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!
