We are so excited to have our new school jerseys. We are also delighted that they have been sponsored by a very local business Ballyheerin Stud Farm.

The children designed the jerseys and they were all so excited to try them on…and then to wear them to our first ever Seven-a-side soccer competition in Ballyare.

The Senior class travelled to Ballyare and took part in the seven-a-side blitz. They played four games – winning one, drawing two and loosing one. We were delighted with their performance and very proud of all of the children.

Thank you so much to the parents who travelled with us to coach and support our children. We all had a fantastic day.

Thank you so much again to Ballyheerin Stud Farm for sponsoring our very professional jerseys.

We had a fantastic Fun Day on Thursday 22nd June. Thank you so much to Múinteoir Gráinne who organised lots of fun activities and games for all of the children. We all had so much fun. Thanks so much also to our super secretary Fidelma , who was our resident BBQ chef for the afternoon! She made yummy burgers and sausages for everyone, and also wafers and ice-cream ! A real treat for all of the children and staff. Thanks so much to Lorcán for the loan of the BBQ.

We had a fantastic day on 14th June on our school tour at Rockhill Park Kerrykeel. The children enjoyed all of the activities and were well looked after by all of the activity leaders. Some of the activities included Canoeing, Archery, Lazer tag, Orienteering, Zorbing, Trampolining, Wall climbing, Go-Karting, Mini-golf & Soft-play centre.We hope to be back again sometime. Go raibh maith agaibh.

D’éagraigh Gaeltacht Bheo Fhánada Seachtain na Gaeilge álainn eile i mbliana.

Ghlac na páistí uilig páirt i gcomórtas Éalaíne le téama “Tá Gaeltacht Fhánada Beo “. Fuair Aoibhinn duais sa chomórtas.

Ghlac páistí Rang 3 – 6 páirt i dTráth na gCeist leis na scoileanna uilig sa cheantar i Scoil Mhuire Caiseal. Bhí am ar dóigh acu. D’imir na bunranganna le páistí óga Scoil Mhuire fósta ar an lá.

Bhí Lá Gaelach againn uilig ar 16ú Márta agus ghleas achan duine in éadaí glasa.

Ar an Satharn chuaigh alán dúinn chuig Teach Solais Fhánada chun ceiliúradh 200 bliain le Mórshiúil na láindéir agus Tinte éalaíne. Cé go bhfuair muid fliuch báite, is oíche den scóth a bhí ann. Gaeltacht Fhánada Abú !
