We had another amazing tour to Wildlands in Moycullen this year. The Infants had such fun in the ‘Off Road Adventure’ getting their first driving licences and digging for gold in the sand pit. We climbed, hopped, ran and swung around in the playground and had a great time visiting Baile Beag. The pictures below show our day and all the fun we had.
We had a fantastic time with the The Tumbling Paddies in Kilconly. Thanks so much to Paul Devaney for the invitation and excellent organisation. It was the first live concert for many of the children and we all really enjoyed it! Sharon Fitzpatrick led the way with the dancing and we’re very grateful Sharon for all you do with the pupils.
The South Mayo Ficheall Tournament was a great success with 128 chess players taking part. Thanks to Garrymore GAA for the use of the hall, especially Pat Hession and Danny McHugh for setting everything up. Chess helps children develop everyday social skills by bringing them together playing games face to face.
Chess has been described as the art of logical thinking. It improves memory, problem-solving and concentration. There are no barriers to entry and children who may have difficulties with literacy or numeracy can participate in, and excel at, chess. We are grateful to Ms. O’Toole and @Lehinch Primary for supporting the initiative with our 5th & 6th Class pupils.
Team Hope’s Christmas Shoebox Appeal is an annual campaign that delivers gifts straight into the hands of children affected by poverty. Often these shoebox gifts are the only gift that a child will receive at Christmas and the joy that they bring is incredible. Thanks so much to everyone for your support of this very worthy cause.
