Active Schools Week

DSCI0137
We had active schools last week. Active schools week is were we play all different types of activities over one week.

On Monday we had soccer in the morning and rounders in the evening. In the soccer my team lost in penalties to Padraig’s team. On Tuesday we had basketball and circuits and I got to the final of the basketball and won. It was good fun. We had Unihoc on Wednesday. I was on the winning tean in the final of that also. On Thursday we had some parents come in to play netball and dance at the ceile. Friday we had parachute and Zumba.

Active week is good fun and I can’t wait for next year.

Active schools week is a week when all the schools do fun activities.

First we played soccer. It was very exting but Eoin’s team won.It is important to play games like soccer because if you don’t you won’t live as long as you should.The benefits are its great fun and it will keep you alive and well

We also played basketball. It was very intense but Caolan’s team just about won the game. It was Eoin’s team who played them in the final. They but up a good fight but Caolan’s team just won.

We played unihoc and it was a great game. My team got into the final on penalties but we lost to Caolan’s team it was a close game.

I think active week is a good idea and every school should do it.

The French Revolution ~ Réabhlóid na Fraince

Bhí na gnáthdhaoine sa Fhrainc an-bhocht timpeall agus 1789. Bhí cáin mór le h-ioc acu agus ní raibh i neart bia acu. Ag an am céana, bhí an rí, Louis XVI agus a bhean, Marie Antoinette, agus a gcairde, an-saibhir ar fad. Bhí na gnáthdhaoine ag eirí an-chrosta.
Ar deireadh, shocraigh ar na gnáthdhaoine an Bastille a ionsadh. Ghabh siad an Bastille, lig siad saor na príosúnaithe agus fuair siad go leor gunnaí. Bhí an reabhlóid tosaithe. Mharaigh na daoine bochta na mílte doaine uasal…agus an rí agus Marie Antoinette. Bhain siad úßáid as an gilitín. Glaotar Ré an Uafáís ar an am seo.
Bunaíodh rialtas nua sa Fhrainc ag an am sin agus bhí Liberté, Equalité et Fraternité mar mhana acu.

Girl’s Cumann na mBunscoil County Quarter Final

Well done to the Inver girls who put up a good fight against the Mount Palmer girls yesterday. Unfortunately our opponents were stronger on the day but we are all so proud of them for having gotten this far in the competition.

Best of luck to our boy’s team who go up against Carn next Monday at the new pitch in Tallagh. The game is expected to start @ 11 am

Fitness With Micheal Fitzmaurice

Over the past five weeks, Michael Fitzmaurice has taken the children on Friday afternoons for a fitness and coordination session. The children thoroughly enjoyed the various activities and look forward to hopefully working with Michael again in the future!

Our Visit from Laura


We had lots of fun with Laura from An Taisce. We did a little puppet show and we learned why it is important to keep our rivers and oceans clean. We are trying really hard to keep our school nice and tidy too.
