Damien from FAI has completed a 6 week programme with all the pupils in our school. Thank you Damien and thank you to the PA for funding this!

Pupils celebrated Maths Week with lots of different activities. On Monday we had a school Kahoot! On Tuesday pupils completed problem solving activities in groups. The senior pupils explored the many numeracy apps on the iPads with the junior pupils on Wednesday. Pupils had great fun on Thursday outside working in groups of 3 completing a maths trail and cracking a code. On Friday the seniors had a maths table quiz with Greaghrahan NS.

Junior Room pupils have been thoroughly enjoying their weekly trip to Greaghrahan NS. Pupils are doing Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Maths (S.T.E.A.M.) activities relating to Autumn.

We are so lucky to be able to facilitate children with Coding in Newtowngore NS. Each child has received a microbit and training. Projects to date include: step counter, LED lighting, Facebots using Strawbees. We are so fortunate to be able to share this with Greaghrahan NS who visit us each Friday in October for our Shared Education Project.

The Junior Room had a lovely day at Florencecourt House with Greaghrahan NS.

The Junior Room have been busy in the farm this month.

We welcomed John D. Ruddy (Manny Man) as part of the Heritage in Schools Scheme. Pupils really enjoyed this interactive workshop with John and hopefully he will come back and visit us again!

Pupils are thoroughly enjoying the return of Music Generation! Christina visits each Wednesday with lots of new songs and activities. Seniors are learning to play the Bodhrán.
