Sky  Sport's Challenge 2017

Thanks to Owen Diviney who came to work with 6th class today. He is a very inspirational mentor and we love working with him here in Newcastle. The class played lots of games and developed team building skills. The Sky Sport's challenge shows the children the importance of 6 main areas of life.
(1) Mental toughness, (2) Hunger to achieve, (3) People skills, (4) Sports and life knowledge (5) Breaking barriers and (6) Planning for success. 
We learned so much today and we are excited that we will be organising Sport's day 2017, a Jumble sale and we will be teaching the other classes P.E over the next few weeks.






















































The Wedding of Grace Gifford and Joseph Plunkett (26-4-2017)

We are learning about Kilmainham jail at the moment in History and one of the saddest marrriages ever took place there in May of 1916. Grace Gifford married Joseph Mary Plunkett in the early hours of the morning by candle light. Hours later he was shot by firing squad because he was one of the military council of the I.R.B who had planned the Easter Rising of 1916. We got into groups and we re-enacted the wedding and Grace buying the rings in Stoke's jewellery  shop on Grafton Street. Our drama helps us to develop empathy.
