Soccer Blitz in The Amenities
Thanks to Paul from Leixlip United for organising a fantastic blitz today in The Amenities. Representatives from 5th & 6th classes demonstrated such skill, that we were the only school to have two teams in the semi-finals. Unfortunately, we were paired against each other at this point and Scoil Mhuire Rovers bowed out, but Scoil Mhuire United made it to the final. After an extremely tense match and extra time, the result was still nil-nil. Well done to the Scoil Eoin Phóil team who won on penalties. A fantastic day was had and the children represented Scoil Mhuire exceptionally. Scoil Mhuire United received their medals on their return to school.
Maths Week
6th Class greatly enjoyed Maths Week!
On Tuesday, Tara, Kate & Oisín correctly estimated the perimeter of the school yard. 1610m if Ms. O'Mara remembers correctly!
Paddy threw the javelin the furthest distance - 16m, on Wednesday.
Thursday saw Sara solving the tangram in 1 minute 57.23 seconds. The fastest time in the school!
Thanks to Ms. Dowling for providing us with prizes for all our achievements.
On Friday we worked in teams to collaboratively solve Izak 9's puzzles.

Student Council Elections
Today, the 18th of September marked Student Council Election Day in Scoil Mhuire. Four 6th Class students were appointed as Chairperson, Vice-Chairperson, Secretary & Treasurer as recently as Monday. They went through the process of sending in written applications and were then interviewed by two teachers. It was a real challenge to narrow down the competition to just four, as all of the 12 were exceptional candidates.
Following their appointments, we were ready to decide on our class representatives. Classes 3rd to 6th made their way to our room to vote in a secret ballot. 6th Class tallied all the votes using the quota system and were exceptional polling station attendants all day.

September in 6th Class
We've made a great start to the year in 6th Class. We're finding our feet as leaders of the school and taking on more responsibility daily. 'Tús maith, leath na oibre' as our seanfhocail says for this month ... a good start is half the battle!
