We hope everyone is continuing to keep well and safe during this time. It is fantastic to see pictures of what families and pupils are getting up to during the school closure. Some real life learning taking place outdoors. Chloe planting in the tunnel, the Durcan boys camping trip to the back garden and the Glackens trip to the bog. Lots happening for Active Home Week and some great project work also.

Keep sending in your pictures or videos. Remember to keep account of all your physical activity using the Active Home Week Template. Check out the art competition run by Sligo IT Below.

IT Sligo is turning 50 in 2020 and they have launched a school’s art competition for May 2020. School children from all around Ireland can enter.  With families staying close to home it is the perfect time to take out the art box, paints or materials and create some art.  From paint, crayons, wool, photography, collage, newspaper cuttings or coloured paper, students can use a wide variety of medium in their entry.

IT Sligo hopes to receive entries from school children of all ages. There are different age categories and you are asked to visit www.itsligo.ie/artcompetition for details on how to enter.

First Prize includes a €50 book voucher for the winning entry from each of the four age categories, PLUS a €200 voucher for Art materials for each of their schools and all winning artwork will be framed and exhibited in the main reception of IT Sligo for 12 months.

How to Enter:  Once your piece of art is complete, please take a clear picture of it and attach as an image in an e-mail to marketing@itsligo.ie before the closing date 29 May 2020, along with the contact details of the student artist. Good Luck everyone!
