🐉 Dragon’s Den 📊 Our P7 pupils recently took part in an exciting Dragon’s Den event, showcasing their creativity, innovation and entrepreneurial skills as they presented their own business ideas. Working in teams, they developed imaginative products and confidently pitched to our guest “Dragons”, Ciara Dowds and Ross Maguire, local business owners who generously gave their time, expertise and feedback. Well done to all involved, and thank you to our guest judges for their support! 👀 Watch this space for the winning product launch! 🚀

Well done to our fantastic P7 pupils and staff who took part in the FTD Brothers Marathon Run in Enniskillen today! 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️ This special event is part of the FTD Brothers’ incredible challenge to run 33 marathons in 33 days across Ireland to raise awareness and funds for dementia. Their journey is inspired by personal experience and our pupils were proud to play a small part in such an inspiring cause. It was fantastic to see such energy and encouragement throughout the day — a memorable experience for all involved!😊 Thank you to the FTD Brothers and organisers for leading such a powerful and worthwhile initiative.

Malachy Mahon Boys’ Tournament ⚽️🏆 What a fabulous day we had on Friday as we hosted the Malachy Mahon Memorial Boys' Tournament. We were delighted to welcome 10 teams from the surrounding area and further afield whilst the sun shone brightly down over St. Molaise Park for the duration of the day. Our four pitches were blessed with some wonderful football during the group stages and the schools who took part looked to be thoroughly enjoying themselves. We’d like to commend each of our schools on how well they behaved on the day. Not only was the football a joy to watch but the manners and respect towards the referees was too. Our two teams from St. Pauls’s worked tirelessly from start to finish and although the results didn’t always go their way, they represented their school and families with pride - which is what it’s all about. A special mention to our St. Paul’s B team who despite being 2 years younger than the other teams battled their way to the Shield semi-final losing narrowly to Sacred Heart PS Rock. Meanwhile St. Paul’s A made the semi-final of the Cup competition and came up short against an excellent St Malachy’s Glencull team. After some terrific battles in both sections, St. Theresa’s Loughmacrory and St. Ninnidh’s Derrylin took the honours in the cup and shield sections respectively; beating off two impressive finalists in St. Malachy’s Glencull (cup) and Sacred Heart PS, Rock (shield). All four teams who made the finals were excellent throughout and they will no doubt feature heavily in their remaining competitions before the end of the school year. Huge thanks to all of our participating schools who played each of their games in a fair and sporting manner. Well done to St. Mary’s Mullymesker, St. Mary’s Killesher, Tummery PS and St. Mary’s Fivemiletown. On behalf of the school, we’d like to say a special word of thanks to the committee and volunteers of the club for allowing us the use of their magnificent facilities. To Miss Keane for arranging the competition and inviting all the schools along. To our St. Mary’s students for once again refereeing our games. To the Mahon Family for being a constant flow of support for this tournament and to the many other volunteers who put on a delicious spread of food for all in attendance. All the visiting schools remarked on the amazing Irvinestown welcome they received on the day. We hope you all enjoyed yourselves and got plenty of games over the course of the day. Congrats to the staff and players of the two winning teams from St. Theresa’s Loughmacrory and St. Ninnidh’s Derrylin. We know that the Malachy Mahon trophies are in good hands and that this competition will go from strength to strength over the coming years. Thank you all for coming!! Tummery P.S.

Netball Success 🏀 The P6 and P7 girls had a fantastic day out today at the Fermanagh and Omagh District Council Netball tournament. The girls showed excellent teamwork, determination and sportsmanship throughout the day. They narrowly missed out on the final due to goal difference so ended up finishing in 3rd place. Well done to all the team!!

🐠⚓️Deep-Sea Diving - Scientists at Work!🔍🚤 P4 have been participating in a range of scientific investigations as part of their Deep-Sea Diving topic. Today, the children used treacle, syrup, vegetable oil, fairy liquid, water and food colouring to show the five layers of the ocean in a bottle (Sunlight Zone, Twilight Zone, Midnight Zone, Abyss and the Trenches). 🌊🌊🌊 This proved to be a very enjoyable experiment even though there were a few oceans that accidentally exited the bottles. Through this experiment, the children were able to explore the concept of density and identify substances that are more/less dense than water.💦 🛢️🧴 The children also investigated and compared how both fish and humans breathe. The children created their own fish skeletons and then proceeded to design an experiment that shows how gills function. The children used coffee to show oxygen molecules and dishcloths to represent the gills, which resulted in the gills absorbing the oxygen and releasing the waste water and gas (carbon dioxide).🐠🫁 Super scientific problem-solving, P4!👏👏👏
