In preparation for the Euro 2016 Soccer Tournament in France, we decided to organise and run our own mini-soccer tournament. 8 teams- Republic of Ireland, France, Italy, Spain, Belgium, England, Portugal and Germany battled it out for a place in the semi-final. Germany and Spain made it to the final in the end, with Spain getting over the line and bringing home the title of Euro 2016 Champions. Let's hope Ireland can do it in a few weeks time.

We brought the learning outside into the sun today and took a trip to Shannow Wood. We were identifying and gathering different types of leaves that may be found in the wood. We also examined some minibeasts. 

Padraig played for the Cavan schools team during the half time break in the Cavan Vs Armagh Ulster senior football championship game yesterday. He was chosen to play on foot of the skills he displayed throughout the schools football season and also at a skills day recently.
