Fanore National School - News

Congratulations to the 2nd class children who made their First Confession today! 

Evan visited our school on the 23^rd of March to tell the children all about life in Uganda and the work he is doing there. We will be collecting English books for these children in this developing country. Please put aside any books for young children you would like to donate.

Children from 2^nd class upwards participated in cycling theory and practical classes culminating in a cycle course at the beach. The children really enjoyed the classes and learnt a lot.

Look at the amazing cards the children made for St. Patrick’s Day!  

Every child played an instrument at this years St. Patrick’s Day parade in Fanore. In our school band we had tin whistles, low whistles, fiddles, concertinas, banjos, accordions, triangles, drums and chimes! They worked very hard to prepare for this big performance and we are very proud of them!

Many thanks to Angie who helped the children make our beautiful origami butterfly tree. The Junior Room painted the branches and the Senior Room made the butterflies. A wonderful display of whole school collaborative art!

Rinne na páistí pancóga as gaeilge. Lean siad oideas agus bhí orthu labhairt as gaeilge on t-am ar fad. Bhí sé deacair ach bhain siad taitneamh as!

For Pancake Tuesday the children made pancakes through Irish. They followed a recipe and had to speak Irish the whole time! It was hard but the children enjoyed it!

On 27^th February, author Anthony Garvey returned to our school. He discussed his new book with the children and gave tips on how to develop their creative writing skills. All children really enjoyed his visit  and had lots of questions to ask him!
