Boys from 4th Class to 6th Class took part in the FAI Soccer Blitz in Tullamore. Two teams represented the school on the day, they won, drew and lost some matches and really enjoyed the day.
The Robin by Anna Morris
I wonder how something so small could contain such beauty
As I look out the window at the dainty little robin.
I watch in delight as he hops along the path
His chest heaving, his eyes flitting, his heart throbbing.
His innocence and beauty make the world a brighter place,
Like a ray of light seen through the dark depths of despair.
We live to see signs of hope like these,
They help us cope, in a world in which little we care.
They say that our passed loved ones take form as robins;
Robins watch over us and are pure of heart.
I yearn to see the angelic robin.
His reassurance keeps me from falling apart.
The robin’s sweet voice I long to hear,
It’s sweet, shrill, beautiful sound,
It fills me with joy to hear such music,
It improves the earth to which I’m bound.
It is amazing that a tiny robin could mean so much.
He is oblivious to how I feel.
It is not his being but what he represents
That makes him seem like an angel so real.
Congratulations on a wonderful result in the U12 Leinster Championship.
On the 19th October our school was presented with the National Flag and a copy of the Proclamation of the Irish Republic by members of Óglaigh na hÉireann, the Defence Forces, on the Centenary of the 1916 Easter Rising. Two 6th class pupils represented the school by reading a paragraph from the Proclamation and receiving the Irish Flag.
