Famous puppeteer and storyteller Tommy Baker has been visiting our school to help us with our acting and drama. We began by researching mythical creatures. We are now in the middle of creating our exciting upcoming play starring the fierce Hercules, the Banshee, mermaids, the Cyclops, the Phoenix and the Hydra.
Next we created them by using greaseproof paper. Now we are diligently working on the fascinating storylines. Tommy will be visiting once a week up until Christmas.

Cross Country
Cross Country
On the 22nd of September Oisín, Ian, James, Stephen, David, Adam, Luke, Emma and Grace travelled to Renmore park for the schools cross county athletics. They were split into groups, 3rd and 4th class boys, 3rd and 4th class girls, 5th and 6th class boys and 5th and 6th class girls. Our school did very well. Well done to David and Stephen in particular who came 1st and 7th. The race was very tough because of the natural features like hills and the rough surface of the ground. You need a lot of stamina for cross country races. Stephen and David will be participating in the Connacht round and will travel to Sligo for it on the 18th of October. We wish them the best of luck.

School Tour 2014
School tour
On Friday the 20th of June, we went on our school tour. We travelled to Athlone Co. Roscommon. We visited Bay Sports. At bay sport we first set off and we got our lifejackets, helmets and the oars. Then we went up to the north beach and we picked up our kayaks. We took to the water with great excitement. The water was very cold. Everyone started using the kayaks as bumpers cars! There were not enough kayaks for everyone so six people had to use a currach. Later we went pier jumping.It was an exhilarating experience and a cold one too!.When we had finished pier jumping we scooted off to supermacs and a spot of shopping in the golden island shopping centre. We shopped till we dropped! On the way home we ate lots of sweets!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Best school tour ever !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Latvia
Latvia
We have recently finished a project on the country Latvia. We read about it in our SESE book. We did fact files on Riga the capital and on the country itself. We wrote a letter from a Latvian person living in Ireland to their family in Latvia. {Did you know?} The first evergreen tree for Christmas celebrations took place in Riga, 1510. Did you know?
– The most popular chocolate in Latvia is Laima after the Laima Clock in Riga.
