The Vikings

The Twits

The pupils of 2nd and 3rd class have been enjoying listening to The Twits being read aloud in the afternoons. We were sickened to hear about Mr. Twit’s lack of table manners and poor hygiene practices! Have a look at what we imagined to be stuck in his hairy beard. We even came up with some adjectives to describe Mr. Twit.

There was lots of spooky goings on happening in 2nd and 3rd class for Halloween! The boys and girls were very busy concocting potions and planning all sorts of mischief. We even had a visit from “Fangy” the spider who seemed to really like spending time on Ms. McCarthy’s desk. He even got involved in our Gaeilge lessons!

Time Capsule

On Friday, 23rd of October, 2020, the boys and girls prepared a time capsule. Everyone contributed to the capsule and even helped to dig the hole. The time capsule has been buried in the field behind the school and we look forward to digging it up when our current 3rd class are in 6th class.

I’m sure each jar will be full up in no time!

Thanks to the students who sent us a snap of their colourful jars.
