For PE in January and February , we were busy learning Irish Dancing. We learned two dances, The Walls of Limerick and The Siege of Ennis.

As part of our Creative Schools programme, On Thursday the 7th of March we went to see a play called the Boy with a Suitcase by Mike Kenny. The play was incredible. There was only four actors but they were really good. The play was about a boy called Naz who had to leave his home because of war. He told a new story every time something happened. On his way,he meets a girl called Cretitia who helps him to get to his brother in Ireland. Cretitia is bold and brave and isn’t afraid of anything. While the two are on their way to Ireland, they get stuck in a seaside town. They get work for a man in a clothes factory. The man seems nice at first, but when he’s paying them, he’s very mean. After two years of working for the man, Cretitia has an idea. She sews the sleeves together, hundreds of them,and then blames it on Naz. While the man is shouting, Cretitia steals all the  money and they try to escape. Eventually , Naz arrives in Dublin to meet his brother but unfortunately life is not  much better for his older brother living as an Asylum Seeker in Dublin. 

In December , our school held a Christmas Jumper  day to raise money for  a Cystic Fibrosis Ireland . Pupils also kindly decided donated the money usually used to purchase selection boxes for them to the Charity . In total, pupils donated 150 euro to CF Ireland. Thank you to all .
