A most sincere thanks to all those parents who have been busy returning books to the school over the past week. This is much appreciated and will make it so much easier for us to plan for work in the Autumn term. For those parents who were unable to make it, we will be accepting books again tomorrow (Monday 29/06/2020) between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.

The school year 2019 - 2020 was unusual in many ways. Today your first task is to reflect on the year; the time spent in school and at home.
Think about your favourite memories. They might be:  christmas plays, Bridget's crosses, book buddies, science week, Peace Proms, football at breaktime, chatting with your friends.... or maybe Art week, Chick week. STEM week. The list is endless. Share these with your teacher. 
Also look forward to next year: What are you looking forward to most. Share these also. 

A huge thanks to all the teachers, past pupils and special guests who took the time to contribute to the 6th class graduation video on Friday. A huge thanks also to those who were busy in the back gound putting it all together. 

Mr Ronaldson and Mr Geraghty have planned a brilliant virtual get together for the sixth classes to round off a terrific year! Click on the images below for details. We hope that this will help you all share memories and move forward with confidence to your brilliant futures! 

​Pupils of Creagh National School have progressed to achieve successes in academic, business, sporting, artistic, literary and professional fields. And we are equally proud of all their successes. The greatest success that anyone can achieve is love and happiness and we wish that for this years pupils as well as all our past, present and future pupils. You will always be welcome back to visit us!

 Set up a selection of the equipment needed at a distance from the place where the face will be made.
Improvise the equipment needed and exchange for items you have at home:
Child/ Competitor is given a Funny Face map, runs to their pile of equipment, selects the right piece for No 1 on their map, then places it in appropriate place in their Funny Face hoop / rope.
They continue till the Funny Face is complete.
Funny face maps available to download below.

 Rock, Paper, Scissors
Description of Activity
Competitors stand  in pairs, standing one metre apart and facing each other.
All pairs line up along a centre line with a safety line positioned twenty metres behind both sets of pupils. Each pair begins by performing a rock-paper-scissors routine. A rock is a closed fist, paper is a flat hand, and scissors are the index and middle fingers in
a cutting position. Paper always covers rock, rock breaks scissors, and scissors cut paper. To determine a winner, competitors count to three and form a rock, paper, or scissors. The winning pupil then chases their partner toward their safety line, attempting to tag them before they are safe. Line up again and repeat the activity.
 

​​Draw or stick target areas at various heights on a wall. Points should be placed in the centre of each target from one to five. Arrange pupils in groups of three or four. Pupils are given a score to achieve, e.g. ten. Groups must hit the targets on the wall to achieve that score. Pupils could try to score a penalty on Mom, Dad or a big brother or sister.
