2nd & 3rd Mark Roald Dahl Day

Staff

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!

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.
