Congratulations to our winners of Student of the Month for December. Miss O Donnell even had to award two students as everyone is working so hard she found it hard to separate her top two. Great stuff everyone 🙂

After weeks of learning lines, new songs and even some dances we were ready to entertain a packed hall on Thursday 19th of December. The musical play based on the song ‘The Twelve Days of Christmas’, ‘Five Gold Rings’ showcased the fantastic talent within our school. Everybody in the school played their part in the show and we definitely have some stars in the making among us.

Everyone at Scoil Mhuire is very proud of our winning entrants in the recent Credit Union Poster Competition. Congratulations to Joey, Nia and Shauna.

Congratulations to our super students who were awarded their Student of the Month Certificates at the end of November.

Glac muid pairt in Gaeilge 24 i mbliana – Is dúshlán é seo i gcomhair le Conradh na Gaeilge leis an aidhm Gaeilge amháin a labhairt ar feadh 24 uair a chloig.

The aim of this challenge is to encourage young people to try speak Irish non stop for one whole day: 24 hours: at home, at school, in shops and businesses, around the town, in sports clubs and with friends!

We had a concert where all the children performed songs and poems in Irish and also had a quiz and some ceilí dancing.

Bhain achan duine an sult as an lá agus rinne siad iarracht mór an Ghaeilge a labhairt. Tá feabhas iontach tagtha ar caighdeán na Gaeilge sa scoil agus tá sé soiléir go bhfuil suim ag na paisti ann.

We sent a team to compete in the Donegal Sportshall Athletics Regional Event in the Rosses Community School on Friday 29th November. This event was run by the Donegal Sports Partnership. We finished in 4th place and just missed out on a medal spot by 1 point. Well done to everyone who took part.

The whole school took part in the Annual Regional Schools Cross Country Competition in Carrickfinn at the beginning of October and after some powerful from performances from everyone who took part we came away as WINNERS of the Small Schools Section of the competition.

As a result of this success several of our students qualified for the county final of the event and our winning streak continued with our U9 boys team winning the Gold Medal and our U11 boys winning Bronze. Well done to everyone and congratulations also to Leah who was the only girl to qualify. The students were presented with their county medals at our Halloween party.

Science Week – Examining, Exploring & Experimenting
