Today we had the class draughts finals. Leah played Archie and Liam played Simon. Both games were very exciting and play was of a very high standard. Leah and Archie really battled in their game. In the end Simon won against Liam in 4th class and Archie won against Leah in 3rd class. After the games we had the presentation of prizes and everyone got a lovely chocolate Santa for taking part.We also presented the winners with gold coins and the runners up with silver coins. We can’t wait for the next competition ! Well done to Archie and Simon – the draughts champions!

Some of the pupils in 5th and 6th class had a very busy afternoon on Tuesday the 9th of December. Gerry Kelly from the “Late Lunch” Programme on LMFM came to visit the pupils of the “Turkeys for Christmas” project. He was very impressed with the project, and with how well the turkeys were cared for. He was very impressed with the living conditions for the Turkeys and also with the preparation work from all the various departments of the business.He interviewed many of the pupils from the various departments – Finance, Marketing , Communication and Management.
The full recording is due to be broadcasted between 3pm and 4pm on Thursday the 11th of December. Don’t forget that the Turkey Auction will also take place on the 11th @ 7pm in Sláns Yard Annagassan. There will be refreshments and entertainment afterwards in Sláns.

Having been learning all about modern day Greece in Geography and The Ancient Greeks in history, the pupils in 5th and 6th class each created a PowerPoint project on a chosen specific topic. The presentations were excellent by all the pupils. They were full of good clear, concise information along with excellent pictures and photos. The pupils also added excellent slide transitions and backgrounds to really make their projects stand out!
Well done to all the pupils!
