Science Afternoon
I think it's safe to say that we had great fun at our Science Afternoon. All children in school had the opportunity to present their work to the rest of the school. We had a vast range of weird and wonderful experiments and activities. Well done to everyone for their excellent research and presentation skills.

Very well done and congratulations to everyone in school, but a special well done to the Green School Committee and Miss McGinley. We have successfully achieved our new 'Biodiversity' Flag and some representatives from school will attend an Award Ceremony in Letterkenny on Wednesday 2nd May.
Standardised Tests

Coding
Brian Donaghy is working with the older children this term. They are using computer coding to programme 'Microbits'.
Book Fair
Thank you for your support of this year's Book Fair. A total of €350 was raised for books for school. We thank Mrs Geraghty and 6th Class for their help in organising this.
Condolences
We extend our sincere sympathy to the family of Josephine Murphy Devaney. Miss Murphy (as she was known to pupils) had worked in school in various capacities in years past, as a teacher and when undertaking teaching practice.
