Bhain na páistí fíor-thaitneamh as an nuacht a léamh.
Bhí siad ag cleachtadh i rith na seachtaine agus d’úsáid siad “green screen” chun a físéan a chruthú. Is maith linn an Ghaeilge agus an teicneolaíocht!

Third /Fourth Make Parachutes
Pupils of third/fourth class design & make parachutes.
Third & Fourth class had great fun in science this week as they were tasked with designing and making parachutes.
Ms. Griffin assigned the task of designing a parachute which could ensure a soft landing for a small object. The pupils set about designing the parachutes in small groups and then had to make them using a limited amount of materials provided. They produced some excellent results as you can see in these photos!
2nd & 3rd Mark Roald Dahl Day
2nd and 3rd class have been looking at a lot of Roald Dahl’s work.
We have read ‘The Twits’ and are currently reading ‘The Witches’. For Road Dahl day we decided to come up with a book of our own pranks that the Twits pulled on each other!
As his book ‘Matilda’ is 30 years old this year, the class also took part in the Matilda challenge where some mysterious things started happening in the classroom…..have a look for yourself!
Girls Reach 11-a-side Final

Boys Qualify for Final
Well done to our boys football team who have qualified for their Cumann na mBunscol final.
The team played 3 games this morning in Martinstown. Two hard earned wins from games against Knockainey NS and Athlacca NS were enough to secure a place in the Roinn B decider in a fortnight’s time. They will face Ballylanders NS who had the upper hand in our game today.
