Fanore National School - News

Happy New Year to all our pupils. We have returned to school ready to rock our way into 2022

Congratulations to Bobby O Connor who was presented with the John Joe Scanlon Perpetual Trophy by Peter today.  This award, named after well known and loved local man, John Joe Scanlon is given annually for the best essay written by a student from the school. Well done Bobby!

The school was lucky enough to win a Christmas annual for each of the children in the senior room this month. The Siamsa and Sonas annuals have always been a Christmas staple and may bring back memories for many of our parents who spent happy hours on their activities in days of Christmas past.

Children in the senior room this week begin their mission to learn about the countries of the world. They will each be choosing a country to learn about and complete projects on. As a country is completed, it is coloured in. We can’t wait to see the map become more colourful as the year progresses!

Here are a sample of the wonderful projects and some of the children making their presentations

Today saw a visit from Áine Ní Fhlatharta from the Heritage in Schools Programme. Children from both classrooms investigated how biodiversity friendly our school is and learned how best to garden for nature and pollinators. Thanks to Áine for a fun and informative day!

Children in the junior room took some time to talk about the things in their lives that they are thankful for

The boys and girls in the junior room were busy this afternoon planting bulbs. We hope to have a burst of colour in our garden next Spring
