Well done to all our wonderful artists who have created these beautiful pictures to celebrate Culture Night. Hopefully we will spot these and many more as we follow the "Trail of Creativity" around Buncrana tomorrow evening.
NextGenerationEU
This school received a grant in 2021 to implement initiatives aimed at addressing the digital divide and support our learners at risk of educational disadvantage as a consequence, as part of the Irish National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP) a project under the Recovery and Resilience Facility funded by the European Union through NextGenerationEU. This funding was used to buy Digital Technology devices for our school.

Lots of fun on our school tour to Century Play and Cinema in Letterkenny recently. We had a great time in the soft play area first and then on to watch "Minecraft" movie. We had a fabulous day out.😀

Weaving
Today we had our weaving workshop with Johny Shiels as part of the Creative Schools Programme. We had a look at a table loom and learned how it works. Next, we got to weave our own creations using a board loom. Our Senior pupils very kindly helped our Junior pupils. ❤️Thanks to Johny for coming in to show us all about weaving.
Hurling Tournament
Our Senior Classroom recently took part in the Nathan Farrell Memorial Schools Hurling Tournament at the Scarvey hosted by Buncrana GAA. Well done to everyone!
Spinning Wheel
Johny Shiels, a local spinning wheel maker, came to visit us recently as part of the Creative Schools Project. We learned about how the spinning wheel is made. We helped to assemble the wheel and also had a go treadling the wheel. We also worked in pairs to make a thread using a drop spindle. Thanks to Johny for his help and guidance. We are looking forward to another visit next week for weaving.
Green Schools Flag
Well done to our Green Schools committee on achieving our sixth Green School flag for Global Citizenship - Litter and Waste.
