We had a great Christmas here at the school with plenty going on! The Polar Express came to town with an elf version of each pupil on board! This was on show in the GP room where we held our Nativity Play for all the families on 21st December. The children worked very hard on the shows and we hope everyone enjoyed it.
On the last day of school before Christmas Santa came to the school with a gift for all the children! We are very lucky here at St. Naul’s because Santa visits us every year!

Last week Paddy Boyle, a local farmer, came to the school to talk to the children of 5th & 6th Classes about life in Donegal when he was younger. Paddy described what school, farms and work was like. Everyone enjoyed listening to Paddys stories and learning about how life was before smartphones and tablets existed! Our thanks to Paddy for coming along to talk to the children.
Yesterday we held our Book Fair at the school. This was a great chance for the children to buy their favourite books and for the parents and guardians to come along and support the school. The school will earn commission on all the books purchased at the fair and we will now be able to buy new books for the school. Thank you so much to all the parents, guardians and grandparents who came along on the day to buy books. We are very grateful for your support.

Every year we ask the families of the school to donate to the Christmas Shoe Box Appeal. These boxes are delivered to children in need in Eastern Europe and Africa. As always, we received a great response. Here are some of the children with some of the boxes! Thank you very much to every one who donated.
The Infants went on a walk around the school grounds and learned about the changing season from Summer to Autumn. They went on a leaf hunt and gathered various types.

The children in 5th & 6th Classes have been reading the Book ‘The Iron Man’ and decided to start an art project creating their own ‘Iron Man’. Lots of boxes and tubes were gathered and they set to work!

Every year the children of 5th & 6th Classes write a book for each child in the Infant Room. Every Senior pupil is paired with a Junior or Senior Infant. They interview them, and then write a story which is typed into a short book with pictures tailor made for each Infant! All the 5th & 6th Class pupils enjoy this project and hopefully the Infants will enjoy their books when they are ready! Preparations have started with the interview stage!

We took two separate tours this year to the same venue – Finn Valley Centre. All the children took part in a day of sporting activities and games and some of them even got to meet boxer Jason Quigley and see the coastguard helicopter up close!
Our thanks to the Parents Association for their contribution towards the cost of the buses for the tours. The children all had a fantastic day out and arrived home happy and tired!
