Leah Murray (5th Class) & Karen Phelan (6th Class)

A lot is going on in our school this week. From Juniors to 6th we are all very busy!! Darren Walsh, a former pupil from our school, is here on two weeks' work experience. Darren is studying religion and business in college. The whole school is preparing for Grandparents' Day next Wednesday, January 30th. It will be held in the Community Hall with some singing and tea for our grandparents. We are busy writing poems and stories about them. 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th classes are busy having quizzes to pick teams for the Credit Union quiz. We are all having fun practising for Peace Proms too. This week we learned the dance moves to three of the songs that we will be singing in The Hub on 2nd March. Midterm break is coming quicker than we think! Hope you all have a good week!

Windgap School Grandparents day is on Wednesday the 30th of January at 1:30pm in the community hall in Windgap.

"All Welcome "!

This week we have a former pupil, Jaime Phelan, at our school on work experience from St Brigid's School in Callan. 
On Monday we had no electricity or heating because we had a burst pipe but the nurse came and did eye and hearing tests. On Tuesday the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th classes went to The Watershed on their first swimming lesson of the year. They were very well behaved.
On Wednesday, the Infants and Sonas went on a winter nature walk and brought their magnifying glasses.They brought back lots of examples of nature. Also on Wednesday, we had a substitute teacher, Ms Doyle, because our teacher was doing office work.
This month's edition of The Primary Planet magazine arrived. It has lots of national and international news. We found out that the Credit Union quiz will be held on February 4th. We have to be on our best behaviour if we want to be picked to represent Windgap NS at the quiz.

This week we are back to school and really excited but disappointed about the homework.
We did a project on The Butlers of Ormond and we were presenting them to the whole class.
We are really getting stuck into practising for peace proms.The show is in 6 weeks in the Hub Kilkenny. 1st, 2nd,3rd and 4th are starting swimming lessons next week in the Watershed and are really excited. We really want to know when all the school sports are starting because we are dying to get outside again.The nurse is coming next Monday for hearing and sight tests.We are all very scared.
