Clare Bike Week took place from the 20th-27th September 2020. As part of their week of celebration of all things two-wheeled, they held a competition for primary schools to design a new hi-vis jacket for their school. The winner would see their design on 30 new hi-vis jackets for the school. On Tuesday, we received word that Tríona McNamara, 6th class, was the winner of this competition from across the county. Well done to Tríona! Please see below, Tríona’s winning design. We can’t wait to received these beautiful hi-vis jackets!

Feakle NS celebrated Clare Bike Week 2020 between the 21st and 25th September. Students were encouraged to practice their bike skills at home, to cycle to and from school for the week and to design a brand new hi-vis jacket for the school. Congrats to all students who got involved and to all parents who followed the students to school with their schoolbags!

A massive thank you to all members of the school community and the wider community of Feakle that donated to the Cash for Clobber collection between the 21st and 25th September 2020. We collected so many bags of clothing that we lost count when counting them! The money raised from this collection will go towards different initiatives within the school. Thank you all again!

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.

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!
