 Our 6th Classes recently took part in a Touch Rugby Blitz Day in Sligo Rugby Club. Schools from all over the county participated and our three teams, the Scorpions, the Slammers and the Sonics acquitted themselves very well with the Scorpions completing a "Grand Slam" by winning all of their matches. A big thank you to the 6th Class teachers, Mrs Calleary and Ms Caffrey for organising the teamsupervising the event
 Excitement is building as we prepare for an exciting book launch on Wednesday. Last year Ms Hoey's 5th Class (currently Mrs Calleary's 6th Class) wrote and illustrated a novel called 'Rebellion in the Village'. It was a combined effort by all the pupils under the tutorship and direction of Ms Hoey, Ms Branley (herself a published writer) and Mr Mitchell during a series of writers' workshops. The novel has already received a glowing endorsement from renowned children's author Eoin Colfer. A number of media events are planned in the run-up to the launch. The launch itself takes place on Wednesday, November the 13th at 7pm in the halla and copies of the book are available at the special price of €7 each.
 Well done to our Girls’ Mini-7s team who qualified for the finals of the competition in St. Mary's on Thursday last. Unfortunately, we came up against a very big and strong Castlerock team in our semi-final and despite the best efforts of our girls, they won through to the final where they defeated Calry. A big thank you to Ms Munnelly & Ms Caffrey for taking charge of the team during the season! We can now look forward to the Cumann na mBunscoil championship with great hope.
