iPads

Thank you all for your fundraising efforts last year.  This has meant that the P.T.A. were able to provide us with some new iPads to use in school.  They arrived at the end of last week and the children in the Senior Room were the first to get their hands on them.

They will be put to extremely good use in all of the classrooms and hopefully, with more fundraising this year, we will be able to add to this and ensure that our children are able to keep up to date with current trends.

Cross Country Running

Well done to everyone who took part and in particular to the Under 13 Girls who won medals in the 1,000m race.

Congratulations!

We send our warmest congratulations to Michala and Ian Cunningham who were married on Saturday and we wish them many, many years of happiness together.

Shoebox Appeal

This year's Shoebox Appeal for Team Hope was launched last Thursday.  We are asking for all filled shoeboxes to be returned to school by Monday 3rd November.  If you didn't receive a leaflet or need more, please let us know.

We were delighted to hear that Mrs Patterson's baby girl arrived safe and well yesterday afternoon. We send our warmest CONGRATULATIONS to Mr and Mrs Patterson and we look forward to hearing all about little Jorja very soon.

Cross Country Event

Some of the older children will be taking part in a Cross Country running event on Friday 26th September at Donegal Rugby Club.

Thank you 

We would like to acknowledge and thank Ivan Diver, David Myles and Ann Barrett for their recent donation of €470 to school funds.  This money was raised on a bus trip during the summer.  

Recent Events

The children in the Senior Room enjoyed a History Trip to Bundoran Library where they were entertained by Michael Moylan.  The theme of the presentation was World War 1.

This trip was followed by a workshop in school on the theme of peace and reconciliation - the children took part in activities which explored the Christmas truce during the 1st World War.  They made their own footballs, had a great time kicking them around the playground and learned the importance of treating everyone as they would like to be treated themselves. Our thanks to Kyle from the Ulster Sports Academy for running our workshop and also for kindly leaving us his huge bag of footballs!

The children in Miss Browne's room took part in a Drama Workshop on Friday.  This was led by Louise from the Balor Theatre.

Glenveagh

The children in the Senior Room will be visiting Glenveagh National Park on Wednesday October 8th.

Nature Workshop

As part of the Irish Heritage Scheme, we will be taking part in workshops in school on October 1st. All of the children will be taking part in outdoor activities.

National Tree Day

We will be celebrating National Tree Day on Thursday 9th October.

Rapunzel Fund

Well done to Aimee who had a haircut during the holidays and donated her very long ponytail to the Rapunzel Fund.

Thank you

We welcome Geraldine who is coming to us weekly for work experience and also John Corrie who will be visiting us regularly to help with reading.

We also welcome Mrs Russell who will be working with the children in the Senior Room.   They will be studying the story of Jonah.

We also thank  Mr Barnett for his continued work in the school garden.  The children have been lucky enough to have been able to harvest some of the crops they planted earlier in the year.
