On the 11th November, Leon, who taught us hurling before, began to teach us again. Although some people already knew how to play, we learned how to strike and pick up the ball. We played games like Clear the Yard and Rob the Nest. We had lots of fun doing it. Over the course of the weeks we learned lots of things and we are grateful for Leon‘s help.

At Halloween the whole school dressed up in scary costumes. In the classroom we did a catwalk in groups of 2-4. We were supposed to go on a charity walk down the canal but unfortunately it was raining so we postponed it. At the end of the day, we watched a movie and Miss Cooke kindly brought in sweets for us. Overall, we had a great day!

We are going to tell you about our Christmas play.
