Sam Maguire comes to Cavan

 Cavan has a proud history in GAA with 5 All-Ireland men's senior titles and 40 Ulster championships to their name. 

We got to see the famous trophy that is awarded to the winning team each year. This year the title belongs to Tyrone, but, maybe in a few years time, some of these pupils will be lifting it in Croke Park on All-Ireland Sunday! 

We have our very own version of Sam Maguire in 4th class as well!

St. Brigid's Cross

 

We made Saint Brigid's crosses yesterday with pipe-cleaners. 

Today is Saint Brigid's Day.

It is traditional to leave the cross outdoors the night before Saint Brigid's Day and she blesses them for you to use.

Lots of farmers keep St. Brigid's crosses in the sheds with their animals to keep them safe. 

Senan made a proper cross at home with rushes!
