Thanks to Tommy Finneran (Liam’s Dad) who came in to do a session of G.A.A skills with 3rd-6th class recently.
On March 16th 2nd-6th class visited a Wind Farm in Co.Mayo. While the majority of the walk was up hill we all made it up to inspect the Wind turbines. We were very lucky with the great weather.
Anne Patten gave us a talk on March 28th about safety on our roads. She explained the importance of wearing a high Vis jacket when out walking, always to go with an adult and only cross on a straight road with no traffic approaching.
She also explained the safety procedures when cycling, to check tyres, brakes and to make sure your helmet is fitted properly.
For Seachtaine na Gaeilge Ms. O’ Beirne showed the class the steps to two irish dances, An Dreolín and Ballaí Luimnigh.
Some of the girls also attend Irish Dance classes locally and showed us a reel and a jig.
Both girls and boys teams took part in the recent soccer blitz which was held in Castlerea on March 14th.
The girls team are now through to the County Final on March 30th in Lecarrow. Best of Luck.
On March 15th Ciarraí (our past pupil) and Holly joined us with their winning cups and medals. They both attend Castlerea Community School and they were very lucky in February when they won the U.16 Basketball League Title. In March they went on to win the Cup Final.
A hugh congratulations to the girls, their team and management on the great wins.
Our school is featured in the Active Flag Newsletter for February.

We have made bird boxes to attract more wildlife to the garden. We have also been busy weeding to prepare the ground for planting.
Lá na Gaeilge a bhí ann. Ar maidin, chan na páistí amhráin agus rinne said aithris ar rannta. D’éist siad le finnscéalta na hÉireann. Tar éis am sosa, bhí Elisha, Abi, Katelyn, Sarah agus Clodagh ag rince. Ansin, rinnemar damhsa céilí. Mhúin Múinteoir Uí Bheirn an Dreolín agus Ballaí Luimnigh dona páistí. Ansin, mhúin na páistí shinsireacha na pháistí shóisearacha conas iad a dhéanamh arís. Tar éis am lóin, bhí na páistí ag foghlaim faoi stair na Gaeilge agus anisin, bhí tráth na gceist ar siúl. Bhí spórt agus spraoi ag gach duine. Thaitin an lá go mór le gach duine.
The children were asked to research, design, plan and build a bridge longer than 30cm. The bridge also had to sustain the weight of a bag of sugar for at least 5 minutes. The children experimented with different types of materials and techniques during the construction process. The results were outstandingly creative!
