Inch Wildfowl Reserve
We had a lovely day out today with Aengus Kennedy from NatureNorthWest who took us on a visit to Inch Wildfowl Reserve. We learned about all the different birds who visit Inch including the Whooper Swan, caught butterflies and explored the many different inhabitants of the pond. Have a look at our lovely leaf creations! It was a beautiful day and thank you to Aengus for an enjoyable and informative day out.😎
Welcome back to school
We had a great first week back at school! Our new pupils are settling in and it’s great to see all our friends again. It was a busy week so we were delighted to visit Buncrana Library today to do Lego.😁
Active School Flag
Well done to Mr. Barnes and our Active School team on getting our Active School Flag.🤩
Celebration for Canon Judi and Sixth Class
Today, we had our Leavers’ ceremony for Canon Judi and our sixth class girls. As hard as it is to say goodbye, Canon Judi reminded us that time doesn’t stand still and we must look forward to our future. We sent our hopes and wishes for the future in bubbles to Heaven and used our Bouncy Castle to bounce forward. The ice-cream van was an extra special treat!😊 Thank you Canon Judi, and we wish you a long, happy and healthy retirement.
Lurgybrack Farm
We had such a lovely day out at Lurgybrack Farm for our school tour. 😎We met all the animals, enjoyed the fabulous play areas and had a tasty lunch. We finished off our tour with a nice cool ice-cream before we headed back to school! 🍦
