On the radio!

On Monday morning, Northern Sound will be coming to interview 6th class about R.I.O.T (our Junior Entrepreneur project)!
We will be asked lots of questions and we will perform the cup song in English and Irish for them.
We have already been given an award for "Presentation and content of product".
Photos will be taken as well and the Anglo Celt will have an article about all the award recipients in Co. Cavan.
We are very excited about it all! The piece will not be live so hopefully we will get a chance to hear ourselves!

Camping trip!

5th and 6th class went to Castle Saunderson Scout Centre last Thursday as a reward for all their hard work on the Junior Entrepreneur Project. 

We arrived on Thursday morning, then we participated in outdoor activities.

The children pitched their own tents, cooked and served dinner, after which we went for a walk to the castle ruins.

When we came back, the leaders, Brendan and John had a campfire lit.

Hot chocolate and smores were enjoyed before bedtime!

Photos and stories to follow.........

Giggles galore!

We tried a laughter experiment today!
Based on the idea that laughter is good for you, we started off with fake laughing; soon enough it was very real!
Then we conducted a group experiment; one person lying on the floor with another person's head on their tummy, they fake laughed. It was very contagious and even those not involved were laughing at those who were on the floor!
Your brain releases endorphins, (feel-good hormones), when you laugh, but it doesn't know the difference between real and pretend laughing, so you benefit either way.
Look at the fun we had. Give it a go yourselves at home, it's fun!

Weekend Sales..

 

Some 6th class took to the shops last weekend to sell "R.I.O.T" to the good people of Cavan!

Mary and Ms O'Neill came along to help us as well.

Kaioni and Clodagh from 4th were a great sales team for us!

After 3 and a half hours, we had totally sold out! 

Thank you to everyone who helped out, if you bought one of our products, then thank you too!
