Last week, 6th class had lots of fun making presentations on two different festivals celebrated around the world- Diwali and Círio de Nazeré. The children put in a great amount of work- we were even treated to some traditional dishes from different countries! Well done guys, your efforts were tops!
5th and 6th Classes are currently receiving expert rugby training weekly from Paul Brady from Portlaoise Rugby Club. A huge thank you to one of our parents, Enda Fingleton for organising this.
2nd, 3rd and 4th classes are enjoying the Gymnastics Strand of P.E. at the moment as they attend their weekly class at the Gymnastics club in Portlaoise. The bars, the beams and the mats are providing challenges to all and everyone, including those who haven’t tried out gymnastics before, agrees that it’s great fun.
As Ireland prepared to play Bosnia Herzegovina in the European Championship playoff the last week, we were all cheering on Oisín from Senior Infants who was one of the mascots chosen for the evening. Oisín had an unforgettable evening meeting the players and soaking up the atmosphere in the Aviva Stadium. He is seen here with David Meyler who plays with Hull City.
