Thank you to Mark from skip’n’rope for giving us lots of advice on how to skip and how to develop our skipping skills. Mark visited our school on Tuesday, March 13th. Well done to all the children also, who are coming along really well with their skipping and have been practising since!
On Friday March 16th, everyone in Inver N.S. dressed up, either in Green for St. Patrick’s Weekend or in their favourite character’s costume. We had a busy day from the word go. In the morning, we all participated in a chéile outside. We danced Cur Brog ar an asal, An Staicín Eorna, An Damhsa Mór and Tar Chugam. The sun stayed out for us throughout so we were delighted! After the small break, we had Fred, the magician perform for the whole school. He was wonderful and a lovely treat for all.
Following lunch, we held a wholeschool Tráth na nCeist. It was a busy day but lots of fun!
We have had lots of fun over the past two terms learning our Irish dancing!
Congratulations to Lucy Deane on her bronze medal. Lucy and the rest of her relay team came 3rd in an Athletics competition held recently in Crossmolina! Lucy is a member of the Erris Athletic Club. Well done Lucy!

Dancing football , just do it all
Kick it high into the sky.
Quick quick , and do not slip
Score the goal, up mayo !
Active, Active , all the way ,
Things we can do , like jog and play.
Playing games , like hide seek.
the fastest runner, oh do not peak.
In class activities , the joys of it all.
Playing high knees and jumping jacks
Always been mind full of not hurting our backs.
We often keep cool, when cycling to school.
Walking and skipping , never acting the fool.
So let’s keep active every day.

Well done to all the children who
Recited their active codes today. The competition is well and truly underway, creating a difficult job for teachers to choose a winner. Looking forward to hearing some more codes on Friday!

Yesterday my class went to our first game of Cumann na mBunscol.
Cumann Na mBunscol is a Gaelic football competition in which schools play against each other in the hope of becomming Cumann na mBunscol champions of the year.
Yesterday we (the girls) played against Shraigh in Bangor N.S pitch
and the boys played against Pullathomas in Pullathomas’s own pitch.
Both my team and the boys’ team played very well yet unfortunately both of us lost.
Despite our obviously disappointing losses, we all cheered up when our (really nice!) teachers brought us all into Sizzlers take away for chips and chicken nuggets!
We all had a great day and I enjoyed it very much.
We were gone all day and got no HOMEWORK!

Well done to Lucy and Eve who recently took a trip to Dublin to take part in a race in Raheny. Keen participants in the Parkrun every weekend, these girls are an inspiration to us all.
Angela teaches us Irish dancing every Tuesday. We Irish dance in the hall. We are good at Irish dancing. It is fun. We do warm ups at the start. We are learning 
how to dance. We are getting better each week. Sometimes we get prizes for good dancing. We started dancing in September.

A man called Eoin teaches us football skills. He is coming for 6 weeks We go to football training on the all weather pitch. Football training is fun on the pitch. We like football training. We run around the cones. We listen to Eoin so we would know what to do. We learned how to fist pass and solo. We ran up and down the pitch. We are getting very fit.
