Honk!
There is great excitement at school following auditions for Honk Junior, the musical we will be performing along with Billis.
Jenny and Adam came to listen to the boys and girls sing and read for them.
They will then allocate roles so rehearsals can begin!
Good luck to all who tried out for a part :)
Irish Dancing
Today, Victoria showed us why she has won so many medals and trophies for Irish dancing.
She performed a hard reel for the class which we all thought was fantastic!
Thanks Victoria. We hope you continue to dance for a long time to come!

Independent Learning:
5th and 6th class pupils are encouraged to learn and discover outside of the classroom and outside of teacher's instructions. This independent learning can then be shown/explained/demonstrated to other pupils in the class.
We already have had several examples;
Illia made a video explaining how to download Scratch (computer programming software that we are having great fun with!)
Oisin loved the video clip of Felix Baumgartner skydiving last Monday. Felix wanted to break world records with his incredible jump.
Oisin made a model of the earth with a minature Felix in descent past the stars! Very impressive :)

Emma is a keen gymnast, and she loved the London Olympics this summer. She made a chart detailing Irish gymnast Kieran Behan's bravery and the top scores for womens gymnastics.
Hopefully we will be cheering Emma in Olympics of the future!
