The day of our Easter Holidays, 6th Class held a talent show in the school hall.  Here they showcased a variety of talent in singing, dancing and playing instruments. They had an emcee to host the event and stage directors to control sound and lighting (thanks Brian MacCormack and Meighean Furlong). The judging panel, Mrs Hanrick and Mrs Kennedy, had a hard time deciding on winners as there was a multitude of talent there!
 In the end, prizes went to the following:
- our very own songwriters and singers Freagh Kelly, Mary and Sarah Gittens
- guitar player Meighean Furlong
- soloist singer Daniel Nevin
Congratulations and a Big Well Done to all!

The children painted their own duck egg with symbols that were symbolic to them.

We made posters to advertise and persuade you to buy our milk. We all had different specific audience's. Would you buy our brand????

We learned loads of new things about the plants, animals and weather in different parts of the world. Some of us did our projects alone while others worked in groups. We presented the final project to the whole class and received a grade for information found, how we presented the project to the class and how it looked.
