Fun in October
Written by Paul White Ryan and Conor McMahon from 6th class, Room 8.
The whole school has been very busy over the month of October.
Each class was working hard on their recount writing and the best from each class read out their recounts to the whole school in the G.P. Room.
Father Ger held a prayer service in the school to celebrate National Day of Prayer. Every class wrote their own prayers which they read during the prayer service. The hall was decorated with fabulous artwork.

In the month of October, Mr O’Sullivan’s class made their own superheroes and supervillains. They made a comic and wrote descriptions of them. They went around the world to different cities and saw different landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower, Big Ben and the Statue of Liberty. For Halloween they made skeletons. This is Mr Sculley’s last month. He is a nice teacher and has been here for 5 weeks.
The boys from room 8 went to see the writer Óisín McGann in the library and received a signed drawing from him. Three boys went to the hurling field and were interviewed for the radio by Tipp F.M. Half of the class go hurling in the G.P. Room on Monday and the other half go on Tuesday. They go to rugby every Wednesday with Pat their coach.
