Ahane National School celebrated Friendship February with a visit from local Olympic athlete Sarah Lavin.
Sarah’s visit to Ahane National School took place as the school celebrated the importance of friendship in February.
‘Friendship February’ sees the pupils take part in acts of friendship across the month while raising funds for Special Olympics Ireland.
All pupils across the school are involved in a range of activities including designing artwork to represent friendship and kindness, oral language friendship activities, music based activity with the learning of the Bruno Mars song “Count on Me” and sports activities involving co-operation and friendship.
