Congratulations to 5th class students Vanessa Whelan and Alice Curran who have won prizes in The Kenny Naughton Writing Competition.  Vanessa won first place in the 11 and over poetry category while Alice won third place in the 11 and over short story competition.  Well done to all our students for taking part and congratulations Alice and Vanessa!

Today we went on a lovely field trip to the Michael Davitt Museum in Straide, Co.Mayo.  We had an excellent tour guide called Paddy who showed us lots of interesting artifacts- he even let us hold a rifle! We also visited the grave of Michael Davitt and the Abbey attached to the museum. We really enjoyed our trip and learned even more fascinating facts about Michael Davitt.

Maths Week

We have been enjoying Maths Week in the senior room.  We have all logged onto MangaHigh everyday to work on our Maths skills.  This afternoon we really enjoyed working with  the Chinese puzzle tangrams!

History Projects

We have been learning all about the Land League and the Land War in History.  In pairs, we worked on projects with topics including The Land League, Michael Davitt and the Ladies Land League.  We really enjoyed working on our projects and are looking forward to our field trip to the Michael Davitt Museum next week!
