Easter Debate

The girls in 6th class had a heated debate this term. Our topics up for discussion were ‘Homework should be banned’ & ‘Every household should have  a pet’. We had 4 teams & 2 judges participating. The girls are learning to speak in public and in front of their peers & developing cognitive and language abilities, as well as skills in research and debating. Our MVS (Most Valuable Speaker) awards voted by the children themselves went to Ava Mangan, Leanne Higgins & Mia Lynch. Everybody put in a great effort & spoke eloquently.

Above is a video link to the girls performance of ‘Amhrán na gCupán’ which they spent alot of time perfecting during the term & performed at a Tionól as part of our aim to gain the school a ‘Gaelbhratach’ flag this year. They did an outstanding job.

6th Class Graduation

Our wonderful 6^th class girls celebrated their eight years of primary school on Friday 21^st with their Graduation Ceremony. It was a fantastic celebration of their eight years in Sunday’s Well G.N.S. The theme was ‘friendship’ and they sang ‘Count On Me’, ‘You’ve Got a Friend in Me’ and ‘Time of Your Life’ beautifully accompanied by Mrs O Connor on the keyboard. They also performed Amhrán na gCupán and recited ‘Daffodils’ by William Wordsworth. The graduation finished with a slideshow reflecting on their progress from Junior Infants to 6^th class. A magnificent send off for a fantastic class.
