Last week we held 'Active Week' in our school. The children were busy each day with different activities both in school and at home. It was an action-packed week and enjoyed by everyone!

We held an Open Night last Wednesday in our school. It was an opportunity for our students to showcase all of the work they are doing in school, as well as giving parents and local community members a chance to see our newly renovated school. Some of the activities that the children were doing on the night include green-screen filming, problem-solving through the use of IZAK9 cubes, bee-bots and Minecraft, and Aistear in the infant class. Many thanks to everyone who attended the event!

5th and 6th class made some robots using recyclable materials that we collected during the course of the school year. Have a look at what they made...

Best of luck to our 1st and 2nd class teacher, Padraig Faulkner, and the rest of the Cavan team tomorrow in the Ulster Final. Also, a special thanks to the Reilly family for making the lovely banners for the front of our school. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSjQwzU4g5M

Congratulations to 3rd and 4th class who were awarded certificates for their participation in the Monaghan Education Centre "Write a Book Competition 2019".

Two of our pupils, Nicole and James Fay, are running in a 5K Colour Dash in aid of Cancer Research on June 23rd in the Phoenix Park. On Friday, we held a pyjama day as part of their fundraising. A total of €635 was raised on the day. Many thanks to everyone who donated to this very worth cause. Best of luck to Nicole and James next weekend on their run. Here are some pictures from the day! Nicole and James pictured with the fundraising money.

5th and 6th class attended the Science Blast in Belfast on June, 5th. Their project was based on the question: What is the difference between normal fizzy drinks and diet fizzy drinks?. They completed a lot of research on this topic, carried out several experiments and conducted surveys on the other pupils in the school. They got the chance to showcase all of their findings at the Science Blast, as well as attend different shows and talk to other pupils from schools around the country.

We all had a brilliant time today at our school tour in 'The Jungle' in Magherafelt. Everyone enjoyed an adundent of activities. The rain most certainly did not stop us from having fun!
