Well done to our second class children, who made their First Holy Communion on Sunday last the 26th of May. Killian, Alannah, Leighton, Sean and Liam carried out their jobs very well and hopefully enjoyed their special day.

Well done to our Confirmation children in 5th and 6th class who donation a sum of €280 to the Jack and Jill Foundation, following their Confirmation.

On Friday we did a sponsored walk. The walk was sponsored by Down Syndrome Ireland. The walk was from Kilmore GAA pitch to our school. We raised €490:30 altogether for the charity.

Bug Hotel

On Wednesday of Positivity Week both classes went outside to the back of the poloy tunnel and started to build the bug hotel. We used tiles, wood, pots, bricks and lots of other things. It took both classes an hour to build the Bug hotel and everyone enjoyed it. While the Big room were finishing the Bug hotel the little room were potting seeds in the poloy tunnel. Later on the big room made 4 bird feeders from water bottles.

Fitness Class

During Positivity week we had a fitness class. The trainer’s names were Thelma and Pearce. The senior room and the junior did it. It was on Wednesday. We did punching exercises and lifting weights. We really enjoyed it.

Self Portraits:

During positivity week we done lots of different activities. Some of these activities included a board game hour and drawing self-portraits. On Tuesday we all drew self-portraits of ourselves. One person from the senior room paired up with someone from the junior room. Then we traced out a sketch of our faces and then we either painted or coloured them. In the end they all turned out lovely.

Board Game Hour:

Also on Tuesday we brought in a board game to play. From 1-2 o clock both the junior and senior room classes played some board games. We also taught some of the junior room how to play a few different board games that they hadn’t heard of.

On Thursday morning, as part of Positivity Week, a woman called Barbara from Bernardos came to the school to talk about internet awareness and cyberbullying. She told lots of information like you should not have obvious passwords like 123, you have to be 13 to own a social media account and if your being cyberbullied you should always tell an adult. Every one of us students in the senior room has learned something about internet safety from the presentation.

We learned a lot and we did drills teaching us how to roll the ball back to the scrum half after being tackled. After the drills we were divided between the 5^th and 6^th classes and we played 2 mini matches.
