Sciath na Scoil runners up
Recently the boys and girls of 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th Class too part in a football Sciath na Scoil in Shanbally. They played 3 matches and won 2 of the 3 games. There was some fantastic team work on display and they narrowly missed out in bringing the plaque home by 2 points. The final was a local derby with Castlelack NS and it was a great game with lots of excitement as both teams were up for the challenge! So well done to all the children involved.
Seen below is a picture of Gurrane N.S. children in the red bibs and Castlelack N.S. join them in the second one! Good to see they were all talking after:)

Primary Science Fair 2016.
This year on the 15t
h of January, 6th went up to Limerick for the Primary Science Fair 2016. A few months beforehand, we came up with a question that we would do a science project on. Our question was, “Does listening to music while you’re jogging make you go faster?”
After lots of tests, experiments and average-finding, we discovered that listening to music does not make you jog faster. We really enjoyed it and it was a very good experience.
