Book Wars!




There's a war going on in the 5th and 6th classroom. But it's not what you think- it's a book war. The class is split up into 4 teams: "The Moles Utd", "The Hibbidie-Jibbidies", "Ze Wagners" and "Team Lightening". For 6 weeks each pupil gets a book to read. On Friday they must answer 6 questions on the book and the scores are totalled. During the week the teams meet up to discuss their books and to help each other understand them. So far the Hibbidie-Jibbidies are in the lead. The winners will get a prize of classroom money to shop for classroom services. The competition is keen and it's about strategies as well as reading. We'll keep you posted...

Shoe Box Appeal


Well done to all those who brought in the Christmas shoe boxes filled with goodies, which are destined for children in developing countries. I'm sure they will brighten the lives of many less-fortunate children this Christmas.

They say that 13 can be an unlucky number, but it was lucky for Brian and Conor today: the first teenagers in the school, as we had a surprise birthday celebration for them! Happy birthday Brian and Conor.
