Both 5th & 6th classes were put through their paces with new Irish Dancing teacher Evelyn White last Friday. It didn't take them long to get in to the swing of it again. 

Thanks to the success of the 6th class Junior Entrepreneur Project (JEP), all classes were treated to time on a bouncy castle, hired using some of the profit 6th class made selling hats and key-rings. It is great to see them giving back to those who supported them and their company. Well done 6th class, 5th class had a great time!

This is the story of our LONG debating journey. It all started out with the trials for the debating team. The end results were Rory as Captain,Matthew as 2nd Speaker and Stephanie as 3rd Speaker. Alicia, Aaron and Leanne were chosen as three subs for the team. 

Our first debate was against Móin Ruadh.  The motion was "Social media is making us anti-social."  We were all really nervous as it was our first debate but we did great!

The next debate was in Mullinavat. We were so delighted to win and were gaining confidence in our debating.

Now lets skip on to our Semi-Final which was against The Model School, Kilkenny.  The motion was "Charity Begins At Home." It was a close debate but luckily we came out on top! Next step the final!

6th Class recently learned how to sew and made wonderfully creative felt pencil-cases.
