The senior room travelled to Bay Sports in Athlone for a day out on Irelands biggest inflatable waterpark. They followed up with some retail therapy and dinner in Burger King. A great way to end the year
The children in the junior room visited Turoe Pet Farm in Loughrea on their school tour this week. They fed the animals, jumped around in Inflatable City and finished off with an ice-cream. A great day out was had by everyone
This week saw us taking to the waves for some surfing workshops with Peter. Great fun was had by all. Thanks to Peter and Ale as always for facilitating this very fun end of year activity!
Happy Father’s Day to all the Daddies in our school community this Sunday. We hope you are all spoiled!
The school has achieved SFI Discover Science and Maths Award for engagement in STEM activities in science, technology, engineering and maths over the past year. Well done everyone!
Congratulations to our 6th Class on their graduation today. They are going to be very missed in Fanore NS but we know that they are going to be amazing wherever they go.
Well done to the senior boys team on their valiant effort against Kildysart. The boys and girls showed great team spirit and worked hard but unfortunately were unsuccessful on the day
As a thank you for the schools involvement in the Burren Geoparks promotional video, the children in the senior room were treated to a very enjoyable visit to the Aillwee Caves and Birds of Prey experience today.
The senior room children got to try out their home-made anemometers today. An anemometer is a device that is used to measure wind (something there is an abundance of in Fanore), specifically its speed and direction.
The children in the senior room took part in two workshops this week:
Plastics Problems Workshop
This introduced the students to the science of plastic, what it is, where it comes from, different types of plastics and the problems caused to the environment by plastics
Transport for the Future
Here the children explored transport and the impacts of transport on people, the planet and sustainability. The children even got to design their own potential transport solutions
