Fanore National School - News

On the 31^st March the annual bagpacking fundraiser took place in Supervalu. Many thanks to the parents who helped to make it a success.

Evan visited our school on the 23^rd of March to tell the children all about life in Uganda and the work he is doing there. We will be collecting English books for these children in this developing country. Please put aside any books for young children you would like to donate.

The Readathon came to an end on the 23^rd of March. Each child was presented with a certificate for their efforts. Well done to all children and especially those who received an Outstanding Award Achievement Certificate.

Children from 2^nd class upwards participated in cycling theory and practical classes culminating in a cycle course at the beach. The children really enjoyed the classes and learnt a lot.

Look at the amazing cards the children made for St. Patrick’s Day!  

Every child played an instrument at this years St. Patrick’s Day parade in Fanore. In our school band we had tin whistles, low whistles, fiddles, concertinas, banjos, accordions, triangles, drums and chimes! They worked very hard to prepare for this big performance and we are very proud of them!

Many thanks to Angie who helped the children make our beautiful origami butterfly tree. The Junior Room painted the branches and the Senior Room made the butterflies. A wonderful display of whole school collaborative art!

Rinne na páistí pancóga as gaeilge. Lean siad oideas agus bhí orthu labhairt as gaeilge on t-am ar fad. Bhí sé deacair ach bhain siad taitneamh as!

For Pancake Tuesday the children made pancakes through Irish. They followed a recipe and had to speak Irish the whole time! It was hard but the children enjoyed it!
