‘Feis Domhnaigh’ is taking place this year in Carndonagh from 19^th– 21^st June 2015. This school offers the possibility of entering your child in the ‘Speech and Drama’ – Poetry competitions, in both Irish and English. The school will enter your child in the Feis and will do all necessary preparations in school. All you have to do is a) ensure your child practises his/her poem at home and b) take your child to the venue in Carndonagh at the stated date and time.

Taking part in the ‘Feis’ has huge benefits for children, including a huge boost of self –esteem being able to recite a poem  in front of an audience, as well as learning to speak slowly and clearly!

If you wish your child to enter the Feis, please fill in the slip that was sent home and return it with the appropriate fee to the school by Friday 15^th May 2014.

We are delighted to say that preparation of soil and planting took place in our new organic garden on Friday! Each classroom has been assigned an area to look after. The children thoroughly enjoyed being outdoors and working in the garden.We planted cabbage, onions,lettuce, herbs, strawberry baskets and tomatoes.

You can follow our progress in the coming weeks as we transplant seedlings,learning how to weed, water and nurture our produce through to harvesting.

Thanks again to Liam McCarron and his father Liam for making the raised beds for us and to Marie(SNA) and her husband Brian for sourcing the topsoil and putting it in the beds over Easter.We are very grateful for all the help and time given to this lovely new project.

Congratulations to our Carndonagh Easter Parade colouring competion winners!!
