This week we welcomed a vet and veterinary nurse from Parklands vets, Drumahoe. They brought along a lamb, Ian, who really touched the hearts of our kids here in Artigarvan! The children listened so carefully and gave excellent ideas as to foods our pets at home should eat to stay healthy, but also foods that could cause them harm such as grapes and chocolate. The vet brought along x-ray pictures of animals which the children had lots of fun guessing the animal! 

A huge thank-you to Parklands vet for this fantastic visit! 🐑👩‍⚕️

Thank you to Parklands Vets in Drumahoe for visiting our school. We found out how microchips work and the children got to scan the teddy dog to find the micro chip. We tested our oxygen level with the device that is used when dogs are in surgery and we found out about the work that vets do. We also met a very cute lamb.

On Thursday all the children who participated in shared education went to Century Play in Letterkenny. We had so much fun in the soft play area then tried our hands at mini golf. We got some hot lunch before heading home. Have a look at these wonderful pictures. Thank you to our friends from Bready and St Mary’s for such a wonderful partnership during our shared education programme.

Thanks to Anna from NI Water for visiting our whole school to educate us on looking after our water and reducing water use and blockages. We were given some great advice on how to make better choices such as having a shower over a bath. Anna challenged us to have a shower in just 4 minutes! We are so excited to try to improve our use of water in school, watch out, our eco kids are coming!
