C’est la semaine française
This week 27^th February – 2^nd March students are enjoying many French activities organised by their French teachers Mme Cadinot, Mme Owens, Mme O Neill and Mlle Whelan.  With a number of activities planned there is something for everyone to enjoy.  The week began with a treasure hunt at lunchtime on Monday.  Students followed a course of clues and were led to “Le Trésor” which was won by Martha Dolan, Clodagh Mc Hugh, Caoimhe Doyle, Anna Maria.  Many thanks to sixth years Dale Amond, Lara Werner and  Stephen O’ Callaghan for assisting the event.  On Tuesday first years designed posters on the theme of France, some magnificent works of art are now on display in the entrance hall.  1^st prize went to Hannah Carberry, 2^nd to Aine O Sullivan and 3^rd to Liz Brophy. Well done to all the students who participated.  On the same day, Transition year students Stephen Hanlon and Keith Noctor organised French bowls in the library, which involved students trying out their accuracy skills, they battled through three rounds and the competition was finally won by Paddy Doyle with 2^nd place going to Kelly Colton and 3^rd to Charlie Kennedy. On Wednesday first and second year students are watching a French film in the library while enjoying some “bonbons”! Thursday will see senior-cycle students enjoying a French movie.  The week will culminate in a French “petit déjeuner” for first, third and sixth year French students who will savour the delights of croissants, pain au chocolat and baguette in a French ambiance.  It is hoped everyone will enjoy the French atmosphere around our school, partake in relevant activities and enjoy a taste of French culture.  Allez la France!
