Sixth Class are learning about the Aborigines in History this month. They created brilliant projects on the Aborigines and presented them to their class today. Everybody did a great job, and we really enjoyed listening to them. Well done!

We were very lucky to get a spot on a zoom call and interview with the very famous and popular author David Walliams. Our favourite books from David Walliams' extensive collection are Gangster Granny, The Boy in the Dress and The World's Worst Children.

We took notes during the zoom call and used these notes to write a recount of the interview in our Personal writing copies.

Third and Fourth Class made a fantastic effort for Mayo Day. We created some lovely Mayo crests and replicas of Sam Maguire in Art. We sang some famous Mayo songs and learned about the history of the mayo crest.
