Have a look at the Kindness Calendar we found. We are going to try to do the kind things on the calendar each day for the next month.

Congratulations to Coman, Darragh, Camaran and Sarah who represented the school in Strokestown library quiz on Monday last and finished in first position, scoring 64 out of 80. Well done!

Aughrim NS competed in the library quiz in Strokestown. Aughrim Ns came first with 64/80 points and the team that came second place got 61 points and it took about half of an hour. There was 8 rounds of 10 questions. There was a GAA round, a Geography round and a history round about the culture of Ireland. Four people competed in the quiz, there was 12 teams altogether also.

This week was Science Week and we all did some interesting experiments. The big room found out that and orange will float with a skin on it but it will sink if you peel it and your pulse is a lot faster after doing exercise. We also found out that if you put olive oil in water they will not mix. The little room did some experiments too and Niamh wrote about what they did. Science week is from the 12th to the 19th of November. We all had a lot of fun doing experiments this week.

Just before mid- term our school was competing in the Scór na bPáistí competition. We had competitors in every category except the ballad group. It was a very fun practising it and competing for our schoo. We have done it every year and every year our teacher Mr Faughnan says that every time that we win something we get a night off homework. We only got one night off homework because we won the novelty act (play). But all in all it was fun and we had great craic doing it.

Every year we make a Christmas Shoe Box and send them to children in poor countries. We always put a great effort into these boxes and everybody does one. We put toys, sweets, face cloths, soap, toothpaste, toothbrushes, hairbrushes, socks, colouring books, pencils and pencil cases in. We put lots of thought in to the boxes and they help make another child’s Christmas.

In November, We remember.

This year we did a November tree. The oldest person in each family got a paper leaf and wrote the names of people in our families, friends or neighbours who have died, so that we could remember them on our tree, especially at this time of year.
