The children from Ballyheerin NS and from Drumfad NS have worked together on the Léargas funded Peace IV project – promoting good relationships between Catholic and Protestant schools in the border counties.
The theme of the project was Fanad. The children looked at the Geography, History, Nature, Music and Art of the area together. They went on field trips to visit places of interest in Fanad.
In June, the children jointly presented their projects to both school communities at Fanavolty hall. We were all so impressed by the work that was carried out and by all the learning that took place over the few months.
Thank you to Múinteoir Treasa and to Ms. Nairn for all their work on the projects. Thank you to the parents for supporting the project and for providing refreshments at the presentation day.
Congratulations to all of the children who participated.
Both schools had a celebration day together – we all went to visit Doe Castle and then to Ards forest park. Friendships have been formed.
