Feakle National School

A big congratulations to our departing 6th class students who received the sacrament of Confirmation at a small ceremony on the 15th August 2020. The ceremony took place at St. Mary’s Church in Feakle and the students were also joined by the pupils of Flagmount NS, Dromindoora NS and Raheen Steiner School. We also say a big thank you to Fr. Joe McMahon and Fr. James O’Brien, the celebrants of the mass.

Congratulations to our 6th Class pupils who graduated from Feakle National School. We wish you all the very best as you move onto secondary school! Best of luck Abby, Niamh, Molly, Zsuzsi, Denis, Diarmuid, Ethan, Eddy, Finn & Seán. We will miss you all in Septmeber.

Our 4th, 5th and 6th class students created bird feeders out of milk bottles. Well done to our students for following the Green Schools code by reusing recyclable materials. We’ve even had a few birds visiting their new houses already!

Last week was Active Schools’ week in Feakle NS. There were very busy students in 4th, 5th and 6th class with swimming, golf, Irish dancing, obstacle courses and much much more going on!

A lot of our students also painted rocks and hid them around the village. Have you found any yet?

Some of our 4th, 5th and 6th class students have been creating their own take of Vincent Van Gogh’s Sunflowers. Take a look!

One of our students even created an Oxeye Daisies version. Well done Tom!

Over the last two weeks, 4th, 5th and 6th class have been writing about their favourite memories over the past school year. Take a read. What has been your favourite memory this year?
