We had yet another successful Hallowe’en themed sponsored walk, with some fabulous costumes. We raised in excess of €1800 which is to be used for our school. Thank you to everyone who participated and as always for your generosity.
1 km Run in Aghamore
The Aghamore GAA Club, Health & Wellbeing Committee recently launched the ‘RUN-1K-A-Day’ programme in Aghamore Community Pitch. The launch was a great success and the participation from Aghamore, Knock and Tooreen schools was very encouraging. The pupils certainly enjoyed it!! The purpose of the programme is to enhance awareness & participation amongst the pupils of outdoors and fitness and the benefits it has for performance in the classroom.

The teachers have compiled a list of some items that they need to deliver the Aistear curriculum over the coming months.. Your help is greatly appreciated and essential to the successful implementation of the Aistear curriculum in the school.
Please let us know if you will need the resources back or if you are donating them to the school.
Items required include
-toy mini figures( e.g. lego men, miniature figures)
-toy miniature animals
-toy houses/buildings (e.g. dolls house, farm sets)
-miniature cars, vehicles etc
-car and town mats
-puppets( finger and hand puppets)
