Seachtain na Gaeilge

Seachtain na Gaeilge

Bhí Seachtain na Gaeilge iontach againn i St. Paul’s. Bhí neart spraoi againn i rith na seachtaine le damhsa, bingo, cluichí, ceolchoirm agus paráid Lá Glas. Buíochas mór le Ms. Brennan agus Ms. Ní Néill as an seachtain iontach a eagrú. Agus freisin le Mr. Duffy as an bhfíseán álainn thíos a chruthú. 

We had a great Seachtain na Gaeilge in St. Paul’s. We had a variety of activities over the week with dancing, bingo, games, concert and a Lá Glas parade. A big thank you to Ms. Brennan and Ms. Ní Néill for organising a great week. And also to Mr. Duffy for creating the lovely video below. 

 

 

Girls’ Mini-Sevens Team

Girls’ Mini-Sevens Team

Our girls’ mini-sevens team togged out on Wednesday the 4th of March in our home pitch. They played a great first match against Rathregan, getting an easy win. Unfortunately they had two tough back to back losses against strong Rathbeggan and Kilcloon teams and finished the day with a win against Dunboyne, with the girls putting in a super performance. Well done girls and thank you also to their coaches Ms. O’Donovan and Mr. Mulvaney.

Think Pink for Legally Blonde in Ratoath College!

Think Pink for Legally Blonde in Ratoath College!

The children in 4th, 5th and 6th classes were lucky enough to visit Ratoath College last week to watch their fantastic performance of Legally Blonde. It was a wonderful experience for everyone involved. Below, you can read Erin Lane’s (4th Class) account of the show, where she shares her thoughts and highlights from the day. Thank you also to Ana O’Leary for the gorgeous picture of the star of the show Elle Woods. 

If you love drama, romance and pink…. then this is your dream show! Legally Blonde is a real hit. The first bit of pink stuff was Elle’s three best friends “The Delta Nu’s”. They were colour co-ordinated with their super cute outfits. Then I don’t know if I should mention her ex Warner – I know like what! But don’t worry she had her little cute dog Bruiser in her purse. Although I’m not sure where he got his name as he couldn’t bruise anyone! Next up was Elle’s soon to be friend Emmet…. or I guess you’ll have to watch the show to find out what happens there. 

Then there’s the one you’ve been waiting for the star of the show Elle Woods. What a lady. Amazing. 

Before I finish let me about my two favourite songs: “Oh my God, yes” and “Bend and Snap”. I loved them. This really is a one of a kind show and I, Erin Lane, absolutely loved it. You will too!
