IMG_4793 IMG_4795

I was so lucky to visit Ms O’Briens Junior Infants today. Not only did they win the best attendance award and get to bring their Teddies to school but the chicks also hatched from their eggs during the week. The chicks are an initiative by Nore Valley Pet Farm to show children how chicks are incubated. It was a lovely visit and the chicks are in great hands.

Well done to our two fabulous Quiz Teams that performed so well in the Carlow Credit Union Quiz last Sunday. In very stiff competiton our Senior Team finished third scoring 53 marks from 72 which was exceptional. Our Junior Team scored 46 out of 60 and won the Junior competition. There was great excitment when they were called out as winners and they go on now to represent Carlow in the Regional Section of the competition. It’s the first time in 20 years since we won and our Captain Cian’s mother, Ms O’Brien, was on the last team that won. She was there to cheer Cian and his teamates on the day. Thanks so much to Ms Hennessy, the quiz guru in our school for all her knowledge and training. Also well done to the other Quizzers who will be out in action at the St Abban’s Quiz in a few weeks time.
