JOEYS BLUES NEWS
Top story
It has been a busy couple of weeks in Joey’s. We had the Conker Competition. Trophies were won in each class.
On 24th October we had a Halloween Parade. There were some great , imaginative costumes. Prizes went to each class.
At the moment, room 12 is being turned into a library with help from 6th class boys.
Sport
We had a great year so far for sports in Joey’s. In Gaelic Football we made it to the semi-finals. Sadly we lost to Scoil Neasáin. Well done to them. Mr. Crotty and Will are starting the soccer team again after Christmas.
Boxing Training is ongoing in 5th class with Paul.
Note
Ms. Wogan got a new boy in her class. His name is Caoilfhionn. If you see him in the yard, welcome him to Joey’s.
