There were some scary scenes in all classes today as the children and all the staff dressed up for Hallowe’en. 3rd to 6th Classes danced to Thriller outside the Old School. The fog added to the eerie atmosphere. Special mention to all those who took part in our Green Hallowe’en by reusing or recycling to make their costumes. Our Dress-Up Day raised €110 for Eamon Martin who is travelling to Ethiopia shortly with the charity Gorta. Thanks to all who contributed.
There was a coven of witches in our room today! Happy Hallowe’en everyone!

After weeks of matches our basketball league came to a conclusion at lunchtime today with a very exciting final between the Chicago Bulls and the L.A. Lakers. In the end Chicago won on a scoreline of six points to two. Well done to both teams for reaching the final and playing some really good basketball. All eight teams that took part improved their skills in every match and really enjoyed the competition. Thanks to Ms. Walsh for organising and refereeing all the matches.
