Marine Explorers
We had a brilliant day with David Mc Cann from Marine Explorers learning all about sharks. Everyone enjoyed putting our learning into practice as we pulled on our wellies and headed to the beach to look for shark eggs and other marine life on the shoreline. Thanks again David for a fun-filled Friday.
Pushkin Art
Thank you to Julie McGee from Artlink for a wonderful art lesson today under the Pushkin theme of “Hitch the Sails.” Pupils were encouraged to experiment with printing, collage and painting to create their masterpieces. Well done to our boys and girls!
World Book Day 2024
We had a brilliant day today celebrating World Book Day. Our pupils did a wonderful job of dressing up as their favourite characters. Well done to you all. 😊We all came together this morning for a special assembly with Mr. Barnes. The Junior Classroom had a zoom call with the author of Dragonterra books, Louise Flanagan, and the Senior Classroom picked up some great books with our book tokens. We also visited Buncrana Library who organised lovely activities for us for World Book Day. Happy World Book Day!
