Cathal Dervan – Sports Journalist visits the Senior Room
In our first term this year, well-known sports journalist Cathal Dervan visited the Senior Room and gave a very interesting talk on the varied work that being a sports journalist entails. We got to ask him many questions about his exciting career and all those famous sports people he has met and interviewed. His two sporting heroes are Pele & Mohammad Ali – who wouldn’t agree with those! David Beckham is the most famous sports person he has ever interviewed. Cathal thinks Katie Taylor is amazing. She has changed the face of women’s sport worldwide, he believes. Cailíní abú!
Reading Buddies Programme – Senior & Middle Room
We’ve been running a Reading Buddies programme since mid November. We’re all enjoying listening to our partners read for us. The Senior Room have proved themselves as ábhair oidí (student teachers) too! You should see their excellent lesson plans and lesson reviews for the Reading Buddies Programme.
RSA – Safety Officer – Talk to each class
Sarah from the RSA gave a very informative talk to each class about how to stay safe on our roads. Middle and Senior classes then wrote up the main points learned during Sarah’s informative talk.
- Always be seen. Wear a hi-vis vest when walking, day and night.
- Always wear your seatbelt. And wear it properly – across your shoulder and NOT under your arm.
- If walking, walk on the right-hand side of the road. Always walk towards on-coming traffic.
- If cycling, cycle on the left-hand side of the road, the same as the traffic.
- Your bike should have lights and working dynamo.
Junior & Senior Room – Working together with our partners
We love to get the opportunity to work together. Here you’ll see us working on art, computers and Maths. Currently we’re working on a big project to help us look after our health ‘Looking after our bodies and minds.’ We’ve started our 5 Minute Fitness Programme each morning on the big yard, led by 6th class.
Can you do the ‘ The Ladder’, ‘Zombie kicks’, ‘Turbo Twister’, ‘Toe Taps’, ‘The Wriggle Worm’?
