Both 6th classes visited Newgrange on Friday November 6th. We had an interesting time learning about this ancient passage tomb and got to experience what it's like during the Winter Solstice inside the central chamber.

Thanks to all the boys for taking part in this year's Christmas Shoebox appeal. Thanks also to Ms. Rice and her 1st class for their contributions. In total, we managed to fill and wrap 17 boxes so these have now been dropped off for Team Hope to check and send them off on the next part of their exciting journey to children in countries like Congo, Moldova, Rwanda, Romania and other countries acrouss Africa and Eastern Europe. For more information please go to https://secure.teamhope.ie/ to see the real difference you can make.
