The boys in the larger pool did lengths, learned the backstroke and how to dive. The boys in the smaller pool learned to float,holdtheirbreath and swim to some degree. In the end, everyone learned somethingnew,

The final day of swimming was full of fun. Instead of learning about swimming, diving, floating or anything else we simplyhad fun. We were allowed to go on the big slide at the swimming centre and we splashed each other. The boys in the shallow pool were allowed to gointothedeep pool.

In conclusion, it was great fun and no matter our level of skill, we were all able to learn something new.

In December the Sixth Class boys helped to run the Christmas Fair. It took place in the hall. It consisted of many fun games such as ‘Hook the Candy’, ‘Lucky Dip and ‘Bean Bag Toss’. If you won there were lots of fun prizes for the winners. Everybody in school enjoyed their time at the fair. The Sixth class boys manned and maintained each station. There were many smiles and laughs throughout the day. Overall, it was an enjoyable experience for all.

6th Class French Lessons

In early January we started learning French every -week period. The teacher’s name was Mn. Fiona. We learned to put sentences together and even played games. We learned how to translate foods into French. All of the games we played were in French. Some of these games were ‘Detective’, ‘French Speed’ and ‘Tic Tac Toe’. On the last day, we got some treats of jellies, stickers, pencils and a French style passport. Inside the French passports there was a information sheet where we wrote down what languages we spoke. Languages like Polski, Jogalog, Irish, English, Nihonjin and Yorba. We also wrote languages we hear around us, languages we speak at home and in our community. We really enjoyed our time learning French and we can’t wait to learn more in secondary school.

We were only allowed to communicate through Irish. Prior to the competition we learned the Irish words we needed for the competition in class. If we spoke English, we would have to do twenty jumping jacks. The winning teams were rewarded with tasty treats. The students really enjoyed the competitionandthetime offwork.

Tommy, Aaron & Oli School Movies

This year we were delighted to make our movies by writing scripts, writing storyboards, and making props. There were four groups and each group madetheir ownmovie. Each movie had an important message. We started shooting the movies in different areas around the school, we shot the scenes in Múinteoir Gail's room, on the Astro and in the classroom.
