On Thursday April 14th, Mr. Foley’s class made their much awaited trip to Dublin Zoo, a designated DPSM Discover centre, as part of the school’s application for this year’s award. Adam, Luke, Patrick, Nathan K, Nathan O’B, Arturas, Jordan and Johnny all made the trip and for many, it was their first time to the zoo. It was a day they will never forget, and was the perfect mix of learning and fun. We were very lucky that all the animals seemed to be very energetic and the crowds were not too big as we spent almost 3 hours walking around and learning about each of the animals. Johnny’s...
We had so much fun practising our handwriting using blood quills in Ms. Keating’s class! A blood quill is a dark magical object. It is a type of quill that does not require ink, as it writes with the blood of the person using it. Harry Potter used this in detention in the 5th book: The Order of the Phoenix.

We took our time to make sure we could write as neat as possible, we even had a practice...

We chose to write a piece from Roald Dahl’s “The Twits” because we have been reading it in class and love it! We did not even do a practice piece, Ms. Mitchell entered our very first attempts for the competition. It was so long ago that we entered, and we kept asking and asking if we had won anything yet, it was hard work waiting! Finally this week, the good news arrived!

Each winner got a certificate and Ms....
