Summer Concert

Senior Infants did a play called, 'Humpty Dumpty, was he pushed or did he fall?. First class performed 'Hanzel and Gretal'. The third class play was 'Charlie and the Chocolate factory' and sixth class did 'Oliver'. The girls practised in the PE hall and performed a dress rehearsal for the rest of the school on the day of the play. They worked for a few weeks and the plays were brilliant. The concert was performed on three different nights. We really enjoyed them. Well done girls! by Eimear and Ellen 4th Class			Senior Infants

The Big Finale

Dáil Visit

Sixth class visited the Dáil and the E.U. offices. We sat in the gallery in the Dáil and had a great view of everything that was going on. A bell rang and the T.Ds entered the chamber. The Ceann Comhairle then came in and everyone stood up and the Ceann Comhairle led a prayer. They began discussing banks.
	We then went to the Seanad. They were discussing taking the Angelus off RTE. I was on the TV monitor! We were given a coke and a bar afer a tour of the building. We saw the flag that John F. Kennedy gave to the Dail and people say it has blood on it from being carried through battles and wars! Our guide told us the history of Leinster House and showed us portraits of former taoisigh.
We then walked to the E.U. offices. They talked to us about the E.U. and showed us a DVD. Then we had a table quiz. It was a great trip	We had fun at the quiz by Anna

Our New School Yard

During the Summer, we got our yards renovated.
The prefab and the shelter were demolished and the existing surface was dug up. After lots of preparation, a new asphalt surface was laid. Now the basketball yard consists of a soft green matting. The other yards have yellow shapes. I love our new yards because there is lots of space to play.
