Very well done to our children who took part in the North Clare Cross Country trials last week in Lees Road. They all ran their hearts out. A special well done to Freddie and Pia who qualified for the County finals at the end of the month.

Many thanks to Dermot who organised a fantastic blitz for 3rd-6th class of local schools to come together and play in a non-competitive environment.
We took advantage of the lovely weather for some outdoor learning on the beach today. First the children had their daily running practice on the dunes, had a picnic for lunch on the beach and finished with a visual arts lesson on observational drawing.
The sun was out once again for our annual Sports Day! The children were in teams and participated in many different activities. Tug of war was the highlight of the day with Teachers Vs 6th Class and Girls Vs Boys! Many thanks to Pat for supplying chips and all those who brought baked goods for after. It was great so see so many past pupils and parents come to enjoy the day.
As part of history and procedural writing in English, the senior room interviewed their grandparents/older family members about games they played growing up, wrote the instructions, and the class enjoyed playing the games with each other!
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.
