Release the Worms!

 

This morning, the boys from G1, G2 and G3 released the worms that have been living in our classrooms back into the garden.  We hope they enjoyed their stay in the Worm Hotels.

R6 Proclamation Day

As part of the Proclamation Day celebrations we constructed three of the buildings that were central to the 1916 Easter Rising. The G.P.O., City Hall and Liberty Hall. They were displayed in the library with all the other class projects.

These boys all took part in the ceremony. Tadhg and Enoch are part of the band who performed ‘Foggy Dew’, Ahmed, Conor and Franz were part of a short Irish drama.

They all did a fantastic job.
