Fanore National School - News

It’s been a busy Term 2!

Ghlac na daltaí páirt i réimse leathan gníomhaíochtaí cosúil le Tráth na gCeist Kahoot, ceol, ealagus cluichí spraíúla le haghaidh Seachtain na Gaeilge. Bhí an-spórt acu agus bhain siad an-taitneamh as!

The children in the senior room have being studying the novel ‘War Horse’ over the past number of weeks. Here is a selection of some of the visualisations they created based on the novel.

We will be commencing French lessons on Wednesday 10th April for 8 weeks.

School reopens on Monday 19th February

Pancake Tuesday is always a great day at school!

Final preparations are underway for our Christmas Concert. Children have been preparing songs, poems and tunes to share with the community. You will also hear the nativity story as you have never heard it before – the senior room have written diary entries which narrate the story through the eyes of the characters themselves. A night not to be missed!

We were delighted to have Anne from the DSPCA come online to talk to us on Tuesday.

She spoke about animal safety and what we can do to help all animals.

They are finally up! Children in the senior room finished their unit of learning on hot air balloons by designing papier-mâché hot air balloons which now take pride of place in our classroom. The children also looked at the physics of hot air balloons in SESE, studied poetry on the topic and even wrote their own acrostic poems.          

Today we were fortunate to have a webinar with Lukasz from SEAI.

Lukasz spoke to the children about saving energy and introduced the children to Guzzler!

We also carried out an experiment with Lukasz, we made A Balloon Rocket!
