This week we did an art project called ‘Wax Resist Art’.

Around two weeks ago Declan and Jim from Coillte came in the morning and talked to Mrs McCallig’s class and Mr O’Donnell’s class. We went outside and they taught us about all the different types of trees like the Birch, Oak and the Rowan tree. Jim and Declan taught us how to plant the trees with a special spade and then we planted a couple beside the yard. Some of us even got to name the trees after themselves. The 5th and 6th class pupils even got to take a tree home and plant it at their house.

We went up to the AstroTurf recently for two blitzes with our local schools – Frosses, St. Peters and Killian.
Our teams performed well on both days and it was a great opportunity for the pupils of all the schools to come together and play some sport.

We had a very good day out in Lifford at the Primary Schools Cross Country County Finals. All the children ran a great race and we came home with team winners medals for the U9 girls, U11 boys and U11 girls.
Our U11 Girls team came home as Small Schools Cross Country County Champions, while our U9 Girls team came second and our U11 Boys team came third.
Everyone was delighted with their performance and we are very proud of them all – the whole school came out to welcome them back on their arrival!
Well done everyone!
