Irish dancing continued with the boys in rooms 9A and 14 showing off their skills. There was lots of green, some white and orange included in the clothes for non uniform day. Some of the boys made a really big effort. So far we raised 166 euro . Many thanks to those who brought in their 2 euro. All proceeds go to the repairs going on in the school   12►

Michael Flatley watch out…..We saw some great Irish dancing from the boys in 5th class today! Don’t forget tomorrow is non uniform day. Please bring in two euro as we are still raising funds to revamp the school. Remember to include some green in your outfit to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day and all things Irish. 

Seachtain na Gaeilge got off to a flying start with the boys from Ms. Wogan’s, Ms. Darmody’s and Mr. Crummy’s class doing Irish dancing. There was a Tráth na gCeist for 5th and 6th class. After fierce competition, the buaiteoirí were Scott, Jamie, Brandon and David. Maith sibh! 12►

The boys from 6th class and Room 9A went on a visit to Bull Island recently.  Pat who has been working on the island for 28 years showed the boys  a slide show and  talked about biodiversity, the creatures and plant life in the area. Afterwards the boys got to have a close look at some of these creatures on display and took in some close up views through the binoculars in the visitor centre.  Everyone was amazed how lucky we are to have such a unique and varied environment on our doorstep.

Watch out as we plan to start our wormery in the next few weeks.
