Waltons Music for Schools Competition.

Congratulations to the children and teachers involved in "Gan Teorann". They have been selected as one of the six finalists to compete in the very prestigious Waltons music for Schools Competition. There was unbelievable excitement in the school when the announcement was made by Liz Nolan on RTE lyric FM. The finalist groups will perform at the National Concert Hall on Tuesday, May 2nd.

The theme for this year's competition is "Music has no Borders". Our interpretation of the theme has as its goal inclusion and diversity. We named our ensemble "Le cheile" and picked our instrumental, dance and song piece from diverse traditions and art genres to reflect a coming together in our school community - in a world with no borders.

Whole School Walk

The "Daily Mile" initiative in Breaffy N.S. in conjunction with Mayo Sports Partnership is proving to be a wonderful success. Each day the children in all classes run, jog of walk for 15 minutes, with total emphasis being on taking part, fun and enjoyment.
Once a month we plan to do our "Daily Mile" as a whole school group together in Breaffy Woods. As we walked today we enjoyed the fresh air and the beautiful colours of the autumn woodland. As the months pass we will get a chance to observe the changing face of the forest.The children and teachers alike are enjoying the whole experience. We hope that this initiative will foster a lifelong positive attitude to being active and to looking after one's fitness, health and wellbeing among the children.
