Very well done to our senior boys team, Fanore/Ballyvaughan/New Quay, who after a sterling effort in Mullagh which saw them win 3 out of their 4 matches, have now advanced to the semifinals of the Cumann na mBunscol boys competition. Onwards and upwards lads!
1st and 2nd class have been learning about fractions in maths and their task today was to prepare pizza for the children in the school using their knowledge of halves and quarters. A very tasty lesson!
