Where has the time gone?!  Our first half term is over and we welcome a well-deserved break.  Mission Week is always a busy, exciting and entertaining week, and 6th Class thoroughly enjoyed it, right down to the bell today!

We started off  the week with a visit from our Mayor and two of the 6th class girls welcomed him to our school to present certificates to our girls and some past pupils too.

Following the Mayor, 6th class were ready to kick off their sales for Mission Week.  Well done to the girls and all of their families for preparing and helping with this mammoth task.  It was a very successful day, and indeed week, of fundraising.  Congratulations to all the groups and classes.

We did get some school work done too!  In Geography, the girls are in groups and will be recording various weather patterns when they return after midterm break.   They will use a hand made anemometer to measure wind speed;  a wind rose to discover the prevailing wind; a thermometer to measure daily temperatures; and a rain gauge to measure rainfall.

They completed their ‘Futuristic Halloween Costumes’ in Art this week.  Take a look at our fashion show.  Click on the blue links:

And finally, the Talent Show was fantastic.  Such an array of talent was shown at our Talent show today.  The girls from Junior Infants, right up to 6th class performed spectacularly and provided great entertainment for the pupils and the staff.

Happy Halloween all, enjoy the break!  Mrs. Power
