15th – 19th June 2020
All of us at Letterkenny Educate Together NS are so lucky to be part of a wonderful local community. Many members of our community are involved in making our school the special place that it is and sharing their talents so that our pupils can experience lots of different activities.
As part of our Sports Day activities some of these community members generously give their time to come to our school and do activities with the children. This year we decided to ask our volunteers to get involved in a different way!!
So we are very excited to have members of our community help us stay active and fit in the lead up to our Virtual Sports Day. Although we’re apart we can still have fun and take part in these activities with our families. With the easing of restrictions now and being able to travel to different locations you can watch these videos anywhere and have a go! We have laid them out daily but feel free to do them whatever way works best for you. Have fun and make sure to update your teacher through Seesaw on how you’re getting on!

Thank you to the various members of our community for making our community week possible. We hope you have lots of fun this week and that you’re getting ready for Virtual Sports Day. This year, because we can’t do our annual World Cup final or the big game against the teachers we’ve decided to do a ‘beat the Teacher Challenge’. Stay tuned next week for this.
Have a lovely weekend all.
