Fanore National School - News

Many thanks to Gordon D’Arcy for facilitating a fantastic field trip along the beach and dunes of our Fanore Beach. The children really enjoyed it and learned so much about their local area. This was funded by the Heritage Keeper’s Programme.

The children explored water safety and how to keep our beach clean today. 

A beautiful day for the children to explore their local seashore as part of the Explorers Education Programme.

The school was fortunate to be chosen as part of the BLAST Arts in Education programme this year. The children have been working with artist Nathalie to create a beautiful mosaic mural. This is also the school’s Heritage Keeper’s project to enhance and celebrate our local heritage.

As part of Engineer’s Week the children in the senior room were tasked with the challenge of designing a paper airplane.

Future aeronautical engineers in the making!
