The 'Christy Ring Cup' Visit
John and Cathal from the Kildare Senior Hurling team brought in the Christy Ring Cup. We asked lots of questions. The two players were very proud of themselves and told us that training during the Covid restrictions were very difficult but worthwhile in the end!!

Athletics Ireland- The Daily Mile
We have ran 210 laps of the school yard which is a marathon (42.2km).We are onto our second marathon now. Our target is 420 laps. We concentrate and focus really well on our work after we do our laps. We practice running between 5-15 minutes or some days we practice our sprinting. It's our favourite part of the day and what we are most grateful for at the end of the day!!
Science Week
It's Science Week this week (9th-13th November). We have started our Intel Mini Scientist projects. We watched Electrified at the Explorium- very interesting!!
