THE SCHOOL TOUR



On Friday the 13th ,we went on our school tour to Roscrea.It took us an hour and a half to get there.We met our tour guides,Elaine and Mary.We started at the obstacle course. It was fun because we were split into teams. Then we had to get changed for the water slide. We had to climb up a ladder ,then when we would slide down we would land in a pool of water. We then had to go and do the twister and swimming.We then got split into teams for the treasure hunt and archery.We got our lunch and played a game of football.We said thanks for every thing and came home. It was a brilliant day!!

Green Flag Award Ceremony.





Mrs. Brett, Sarah, Ronaldo and Kitten went to Cork to get the Green Flag.
When we got there we had something to eat and drink. Then we went into
the award ceremony and Michael John O'Mahony started the ceremony and then
Michael John and Jim Wilson gave us the green flag. After the ceremony
we had lunch Chicken Curry and a chocolate cake. Then after a busy day we went home.

We worked really hard around the school to make it environmentally friendly and a nice place to be for everyone! Congrats to everyone!
The head of the GAA Nicky Brennan is coming to our school on Monday 23rd of June next to raise the Flag. We are also having our 6th class Graduation that evening at 7pm.

Visit from Microsoft Ireland


On Wednesday the academic program manager of Microsoft Ireland Dr. Kevin Marshall, will be coming to our school to give us our prize for the Microsoft Innovative teacher forum.Dr. Deirde Butler of St.Patricks College will be coming also. She set up the Empowering minds in Ireland,this is the group that co-ordinate the LEGO project in Ireland. We have invited our old friend Cathal of the NCTE to come down to celebrate our win.

Today a few of us, including me will be staying in school until six o' clock to prepare for the day. Nine hours is a long time to be in school but I'm sure it will be worth it. Everyone will be talking about something that happened in school this year. I will be talking about the research we have done on the Wright brothers and the model of the 1903 flyer that I made out of LEGO. You will hear all about Wednesday soon enough.
