Fanore National School - News

The senior room had an action packed day for their school tour. First starting in Killaloe at the West Lake Aqua Park, onto Limerick for some arcade games and bowling at FunWorld, and finishing with a tasty meal at the Hungry Lyons!

Congratulations to our Girls Football team for making into the county final once again this year in Cusack Park! Although the result didn’t go their way it was an amazing achievement to get to the county final. Many thanks to Múinteoir Mary for her hard work and dedication in organising and coaching the team. A special mention to Suzie, who was our caption for the blitz!

Best of luck to Tadhg McCarthy as he lines out for Clare as part of the primary half time game during the Munster Hurling Final Clare vs Limerick this Sunday. A fantastic achievement to be chosen to represent the county and we are all very proud of him here in Fanore!

The boys team played their hearts out today in a tough semi-final against Kilkee-Moyasta. Unfortunately the result didn’t go our way on the day but we are very proud of the team!

The boys are are through to the semi final! Many thanks to Múinteoir Mary and Ollie for their expert coaching! A great display of teamwork and sportsmanship among the Fanore-New Quay – Carron – Ballyvaughan boys today and excellent leadership by our captain, Tadhg.

Our gymnastics lessons have commenced with Magda.

Many thanks to Pat Sexton and Clare Sports Partnership for a great bike workshop today where the children learned about cycle safety and developed their cycling skills.

Well done to the boys who participated in a great hurling blitz today with Boston/Tubber/Ballyvaughan. They were great ambassadors for our school!

The children from 3rd to 6th class competed in the Sportshall Athletics competition for the first time in Corofin. They competed in a number of track and field events including relay races, obstacle courses, javelin, long and high jump, speed bounce and more. Fanore was paired with two other schools and the boys 3rd/4th team and boys 5th/6th team won their respective categories!

4th to 6th class children took part in the FAI School Primary 5s Blitz in Lisdoonvarna for the first time. The Girls team drew their second game. The Boys team won their group and progressed to the semi finals where they narrowly missed out on a place in the next stage of the competition. Many thanks to David for coming to train the children in advance of the blitz and coaching the teams on the day.
