On of January 27 at 7 o’ clock the credit union quiz started. I was on a team with Ellie, Oscar and Adam. The quiz took place in one of the function rooms. Each team had a table to themselves and the families sat at the back. The questions started easy like: ‘What is the capital of Ireland?’ The first four rounds were pretty easy. After the first five rounds we got a short break and snack. After the break the questions started to get progressively harder. One of the questions was: ‘How many coloured cards are there per suit in a deck of cards?’ And another was: ‘What star sign comes last alphabetically?’ Overall there were seven other schools { Ratoath National School, St. Declan`s, St. Marys and St. Andrews, Curragh just to name a few.} The junior team came third overall in their category and the senior team came joint second overall. Sadly this wasn’t enough to go through to the next round, but third, second and first place all got €20 each. I really enjoyed myself and had a great time.

On Friday January 27 2023 I had a quiz for the school. On my team there was Niamh, Molly and Scott. On the senior team there was Adam, Oscar, Hannah and Ellie. Niamh arrived first. Then Molly came. Finally Scott came. I was kind of calm. Then the quiz started. I would start first, then Scott, then Molly, then Niamh. The first three rounds were very easy. At half time Mr. Harte said that one person should write a round. The rounds got really hard. For participating we got a pencil case. We got third place which meant we bet Ratoath National School. We got fifteen euro. St. Declan’s came in second place. St. Mary’s got first place. In the seniors St. Declan came in third place. In second place came St. Pauls, Ratoath National School and Curragha. In first place came St. Marys. Completed by Nicholas Clarke

The weather wasn’t always kind to us this week, but where they could, the boys and girls (and adults too!) made a great effort to take part in our Walk to School week!
We were delighted to see so many walking to school. Indeed many children also came to school on scooters and bicycles which is another great way to arrive to St. Paul’s in an environmentally friendly way!
This week, the children were learning about the benefits of walking for our minds, our bodies and the environment- take the opportunity this weekend to go for a walk and help us to keep fit, keep healthy and keep green!
