Dublin All-Ireland Champions 2015. Michael Darragh Macauley brought the Sam Maguire Cup into Joey’s for a visit. The school GAA team were more than happy to pose for a photograph!

The boys in 2nd class had lots of Hallowe’en fun.  Instead of her usual boys Ms. Mc Bride was teaching zombies, Ninjas, a clown, the Hulk, bats, a tin man and lots more!!!  The boys learned how Hallowe’en customs came about and played traditional games such as bobbing for apples, pin the tail on the donkey and  ‘saucers decide your future’.  The boys also tasted some nuts and barn brack.  Rhys was lucky enough to find the gold ring!!  Congratulations to all the boys who made their own costumes and well done to Lucas for winning the 2nd class prize as The Tin-Man.
