Munster Credit Union Quiz

On 2/3/2023, the quiz team met at the Radisson Blu Hotel in Limerick at 6:00pm. There were schools from Clare, Limerick, Tipperary, and Kerry though most of the schools were from Limerick. There were 10 rounds for the junior teams and 12 for the senior teams with 6 questions each. They told us the score every 4 rounds. In the 4th round, when they told us the score, we were second last so we thought we lost. In the 8th round, we were tied for second! And after we waited for the senior rounds to finish, we heard that we got 41 points which was the highest score by one. Ennis National School came first in the senior rounds. Some of the questions were really hard but some were easy and some we knew by luck! Now we are going to the RDS in Dublin on April 2nd for the All-Ireland Credit Union Quiz final

World Book 2023

On March 3rd, our school had world book day. Everyone dressed up as a character from a book such as soccer players, Shrek, Puss in Boots, the Tin man Alice in Wonderland and Harry Potter. Anne dressed up as Wednesday, Amy, and Tina dressed up as the Trunchbull and Mr Curran dressed up as the Mad Hatter. On both lunch breaks, we had a disco. All the songs we played were from movies and everyone did a lot of dancing. Everybody got a chance to listen to a song they liked.
