Healthy Eating

4th, 5th and 6th class are promoting healthy eating.

We made our own homemade pasta sauce to go with the organic pasta that Mrs. Dignam bought. We pulled the carrots from our own vegtable garden. The meal was very cheap at €11.50. That meant it only cost 50c per child!! I'd say that is the cheapest meal ever.

Everyone in 4th, 5th and 6th class has invented a new day "Fruity Tuseday". On "Fruity Tuseday" everyone is encoraged to bring a piece of fruit or vegtable to school. It is good to see everyone having a munch on some fruit or vegtables. Some childeren bring fruit and vegtables to school every day which is even better.

Ping Pong Final

On Tuesday 25-10-2011 4th, 5th and 6th class held the Ping Pong Word Cup final between Italy (James O Leary) and Namibia (Dylan Van Daele). Both boys were from 5th class. It was a brilliant match between the two boys. It wasn't a very close match but it was one of the best I've seen. Italy won the match 21-12. The prize was a voucher for Sports World. I think Namibia will be back for the title next year J. Here are a few pictures from the prize giving.

James receives his prize and congratulations from Ms Dignam.
