We had a special visit from Emer Reynolds recently who directed The Farthest, an award-winning documentary on the Voyager space craft sent out in the 1970’s to explore the farthest reaches of space. Emer was good enough to bring in her Emmy Award and IFTA award which she won for best director for the documentary and the boys were all lucky enough to hold them and get a picture with them. Massive thanks to Emer for coming in and talking all things film, directing, producing and space! Thanks also to her sister, our own secretary, Maeve, for arranging the visit!

On St Brigid's Day the boys in 4th Class celebrated the birthday of Irish sports personality Charlie O’Leary who celebrated his 101st birthday on February 1st. His Great-Grandson Tommy brought in some items Charlie had given to him and he and his friends gave a short presentation to the senior end of the school about his role in Irish football. The boys wrote messages for Charlie which he received on his birthday and are now above his mantelpiece.

For the past few weeks the boys in 4th class have been rehearsing for their Christmas Show, Elf. The boys designed the sets and the props and had significant input in song selection and the makeup of the final script. Above all else the boys had a blast practising and performing on three separate occasions. Special mention to Buddy the Elf who suffered a knee injury two days out from the first performance and still came through with an excellent performance.

December has been such a fun month in 4th class with lots of preparation for our Christmas show. The children painted the backdrops, the buildings and made Santa’s sleigh and had great fun while doing it. It was a wonderful performance and such a credit to their hard work. We are looking forward to watching the show back as a class and enjoying some hot chocolate!

Our boys enjoyed a visit from Kitty the Labrador this month. The purpose of the visit was to educate the boys and raise awareness of autism-assistance dogs and the key role they play in helping children with autism.
The boys were very engaged throughout and even got to pet her as Kitty was given a lap of honour around the classroom!
