In a thrilling final of our Winter League, Kildare led superbly by Shane Nevin, beat Eoin Byrne's Cork by a narrow margin in an absolute cracker of a match. The league was home to some brilliant football all throughout the winter and there was some fantastic displays in the semi finals and finals of all the skills associated with our great game.
The two line ups for the final were;
Kildare: Shane Nevin, Jamie Coy, Conor McCabe, Michael Adedeji, Eoghan Finn & Luke Walsh.
Cork: Eoin Byrne, Joe Reddington, Kelvin Olotu, Caolan Hanly, Jordan Hayden & Cian McGowan
Here are some action shots from the games. Enjoy.

In Ms. Maher's Junior and Senior Infants classes, we have been busy getting ready for Winter, and of course, Christmas in our classroom. We have been practicing really hard for our Christmas play, and we decided to really get in the Christmas spirit in our art classes.

We looked at some pictures of winter trees, and decided to try our hand at painting our own. Such a fantastic job was done, and everyone’s tree looks great – all unique and all wonderful :) 

Make sure to come see our play on Thursday 18th December, and see the other fabulous art we have put up around the hall for Christmas ! :)

Recently Mr Healy's 5th/6th class finished our first class novel of the year, Diary of a Wimpy Kid by the author & illustrator Jeff Kinney. The boys really engaged with the novel, not happy with just reading the book, they also designed their own front covers for the book, created their own comic strips and also drew a 'Wimpified' version of themselves.
As a reward for their hard work, we made some Blood Red Velvet cupcakes in class just before Hallowe'en. Here is a slideshow of our baking skills :) If enough people comment below this post then we MIGHT just post the recipe too! :)

Mr Healy's 5th/6th class were recently handed a simple, but challenging, task; build a paper tower that could stand by itself for at least 30 seconds, using only a fixed amount of paper, scissors and masking tape. The boys has studied the worlds tallest buildings prior to their task, and they attempted to put this knowledge to the test, and build their own rivals to the Burg Khalifa & Empire State Building :) 
There was lot's successful constructions and a special mention goes to the winning group of Aaron Shelley, Jamie McGowan & Eoin Byrne. Have a look at the gallery below to see our budding engineers at work :)
