Our very own talented Irish Dancer!

A huge congrats to our very own Laureen, 5th class, who had a very victorious weekend in Bray, taking home a whopper 12 medals and 3 humongous trophies for Irish Dancing!!!  We are super proud of her, as are her family no doubt! Well done Laureen! Riverdance watch out ;)!

We even made Friday’s edition of ‘The Irish Times’ p.10!

A huge well done to all in 5th class who took part in the big event of the crowning of the new Laureate na nóg, Eoin Colfer. We were invited to the Arts Council Building in Merrion Square last Thursday where we were greeted by fabulous treats (cupcakes and drinks!) and also by the man himself, Eoin Colfer. Eoin sat down with us and told us many stories of his past, which inspired many of his children’s books, such as ‘Artemis Fowl’, ‘Benny and Omar’, ‘The legend of Spud Murphy’ and ‘WARP’ which we’re reading in 5th class at the minute! We were bombarded by the media – newspaper representatives, RTE, and RTE junior reporters! We also got to meet Minister of State, Fergus O’ Dowd. It was a very exciting morning! If you missed our interviews on RTE junior, take a look by following the link – we look and sound ever so well 🙂  http://www.rte.ie/trte/news2day/

Thanks so much to Tony, who not only comes in on Tuesdays for Paired Reading, but is also coming in to us for Badminton coaching! He has taught us many a Badminton technique already, after just 2 sessions! We look forward to perfecting our Badminton skills over the next few weeks 🙂

Today was our first day in training for our Bronze Medal in boxing. It was an intense hour of training! Well done to everyone in 5th and 6th class who were absolutely terrific. Katie Taylor watch out!
