Please see some pictures of the latest outdoor homework that pupils have been completing this term.
Today we celebrated our annual sports day. Pupils and parents took part in a range of individual and team events across the day. Highlights included several sliothers being lost in our first ever Poc Fada event- by our parents. Pupils were treated to ice creams by our local co-op shop. Thank you also to Boyles spar for sponsoring the banner and new equipment also.

On Wednesday 7th June, we visited the beach to complete some artwork based on the artist Andy Goldsworthy. He’s known for his use of natural materials and exploring themes like the passing of time. Throughout his life, he’s made artwork and sculptures from natural resources. He’s won several awards and is a prominent figure in the world of environmental art.
Have a look at some of our outdoor learning homework- this was set instead of 'normal' written homework in the month of June!
Our latest wellbeing day took place on Monday June 5th. Our focus for the day was STEM and pupils enjoyed a series of experiments. They also continued with their ‘Fresh Little Minds’ project.
On Sunday the 14th May and 21st we came together as a community to celebrate Holy Communion and Confirmation. Nyree in P4 and Cailyn in P7 were joined in the church by many of their school friends, family, staff and the wider community. We congratulate both as they received their sacrament in the presence of Christ in the Eucharist.
Today, pupils joined the RHA and members of the Tuesday club to discuss the new housing development on the Island. They had a tour of the site from Lowry Construction and worked with the Tuesday Club to design welcome decorations for the houses.
This week the older pupils have been busy with their gymnastics and hurling activities in PE. In gymnastics, the pupils were continuing to focus on rolls- the egg roll and the forward roll. In hurling they have been working on striking the ball with the two hands close together at the top of the hurl. The younger pupils will commence hurling next week- Monday. We encourage pupils to practise all their PE skills at home.
