Congrats to Shane McGrath

Congratulations to Tipperary hurler Shane McGrath who was named the Vodafone GAA All Stars Player of the Month for April.
Shane visited us in the school a couple of months ago with GPO Johhny Cummins. The photo above is of the Senior Room during a training session with Shane.
He was presented with his award at a reception in Dublin’s Westbury Hotel by GAA President Nickey Brennan.
Midfielder McGrath was instrumental in Tipp’s run to League glory and is seen as one of the most promising young players in the game. The Ballinahinch club man starred as Liam Sheedy’s men outscored Ger Loughnane’s Galway in a thrilling league final in Limerick in April.

Our Garden

Today we went out to the garden and planted some cabbage heads. We all worked together to plant them and to also water them. Mrs.Brett brought them in to day.
Mrs.Brett`s class and us shared the cabbage heads. The teacher took pictures of us digging holes to put them into. This is us!

Babe- Character from the Sheep Pig By Dick King Smith

We have read the novel The Sheep Pig by Dick King Smith in class. We read this book because when Ms. O' Connell went to Croatia for the Microsoft Innovative Forum she brought our school mascot Piggley with her. Piggley is a pig from the cartoon Jakers.
When he was in Croatia Piggley met the Saltash school mascot (a hen)! Saltash is a secondary school in England. They have a web cam set up and you can see the hens and pigs that they are rearing on their school farm.


We wrote Character Profiles about Babe today. This was written by B612:
Babe is a pig. He got separated from his mom at a young age. Babe's best friend is Fly. Babe wants to become a sheep pig but every body thinks he crazy. Babe's other friend is Mr Hogget. He also likes a sheep called Maa until she was killed by a dog. Babe still thinks he can be a sheep pig and still be nice to sheep.
I like Babe because he is a cool pig and because he believes in himself and doesn't let others down. I also like him because he doesn't give up.
