Water Safety
We had a talk about Water Safety in school on Wednesday. All children learned how to be safe around water. We thank Sarah for her fun and informative talk. The children were awarded certificates and this work forms part of the 'Aquatics' strand of the P.E. curriculum.
History Workshop
The children took part in an interactive history workshop last week. The theme was 'The Vikings' with particular emphasis on Brian Boru and the Battle of Clontarf in 1014. This year is the 1000th anniversary of the Battle of Clontarf and some children in the Senior Room enjoyed playing the main characters in the story. We thank Patsy Cavanagh for organising this.

Photographs and iPads
You might have spotted us walking up and down the street in Ballintra on Wednesday. As part of their art and local history work, the children were using their iPads and phones to take photographs of the local area.
