Healthy Eating Awareness Week

Healthy Eating Awareness week was held in our school from 3^rd- 7^th April and was a great success. Everyone got the opportunity to taste a wide variety of fruits for Try-it Tuesday and Fruity Friday. Some classes also made smoothies, fruit and vegetable juices and fruit skewers during the week. We also learned about the New Food Pyramid and how to read food labels.  Well done to everyone for participating!

News in Scoil Chlann Naofa

We had a student teacher with us for the majority of the past term. Aisling Dwyer was in Mr. Mc Keon's Class and this was her final teaching practice. She will be qualified and teaching before the end of this school year. The pupils really enjoyed their time learning with Miss Dwyer and we know she will be a wonderful teacher. We wish her the best in her teaching career!

On the 31st of March we competed in the Scór na mBunscoileanna competition in Cloone Hall. We entered the ballad group, solo singing and tráth na gceist competitions. The standard was exceptionally high. The night was highly entertaining and we hope that we can continue to improve and enter more categories in the years ahead as Scoil Chlann Naofa. Thanks so much to the parents who attended on the  night. We know Friday evenings are precious and it was a great experience for the children to perform and compete on stage. Well done to Amelia in 5th class who received a highly commended medal for solo singing.

We are very sorry to say goodbye to Mr Jonathan Beirne who has been in 5th and 6th class (boys) for the last two terms. He had an excellent way with the children and they really thrived in his class. Thanks for all the hard work Mr Beirne. Every cloud has a silver lining and we are delighted to welcome back Ms. Sinéad Quinn after her maternity leave. Fáilte ar ais Ms Quinn!

A guest to our school

A few weeks ago a lady who works for the National Dogs Trust came into talk about how to take care of dogs, how to be careful around strange dogs and she told us about how some dogs get taken into care. It was very interesting to hear these stories and about her job. We all took a picture together and got Dogs Trust stickers and bracelets.
