Fanore National School - News

This year’s science week took place from the 10th to the 14th of November. The children took part in the curious minds webinars and studied viruses, their appearance and makeup, the different kinds and the ways of preventing them infecting us. They finished off by designing and making their own viruses.

Thank you to our families who have donated online and by filling shoeboxes for this years appeal!

A big thank you to Mark and Nick from Ennistymon Fire Brigade who visited us this week. We learned all about fire safety and prevention as well as lots about the very important work carried out by the Fire Brigade volunteers.
