Girls are victorious in Football Blitz!

10/21/2015

Congratulations to our 5th/6th Girls Football Team, who won their three matches yesterday in the Carrigdhoun Sciath na Scol Football Blitz. All girls played to the best of their ability, and showed great sportsmanship towards the opposing teams.
We traveled to Tracton G.A.A. Grounds in nearby Minane Bridge by car, with the help of some of our parents. We played St. Marys, Minane Bridge and Crosshaven. We are delighted with how we played, and with the fantastic win. Many thanks to Anthony and Mr. Wright for the training they have done with us this year. Best of luck to our Boys Team in their Blitz tomorrow!

Positive Ageing Week 2015

As part of Positive Ageing Week 2015, we entered the Kinsale Bookstór Poetry Competition. We were asked to write an amusing Limerick on the theme of getting older. We hope you enjoy these witty entries!

My Grandad is awsome and cool,
One time he climbed Carrauntwohill,
He likes motorbikes,
He's a brother named Mike
Sometimes he acts quite the fool!
By Leah McCarthy

There once was an old man called Joe,
Who had a brother called Moe,
When they were carefree and young,
They climbed trees and had fun,
and they still haven't broken a toe
By Holly Finucane

My Nan is really lame,
She uses a Zimmer Frame,
She's awfully slow,
She always says "No"!
But she loves me and that's the same.
By Lia Connolly

I know an old man named Zane
He is in a lot of pain,
He got hit by a car,
It drove very far,
His clothes were also very stained!
By Liam Miles Sloley

My Nan loves watching the Late Late,
She always dreams of finding a date,
She only loves Brown Bread,
She's mad in the head,
She'll only find a date by fate.
By Louis Allman

There once was a very sad Grandad,
Who at soccer was very bad,
He went to a home,
Then he got in the zone,
Wow he ain't an old Grandad no more.
By Shane O' Donovan

My Grandad's incredibly cool,
Because he loves the swimming pool,
My Granny sees shows
But for me they're too slow,
But together we all play pool.

BT Young Scientists 2015/2016

10/5/2015

Our fifth class students are entering the BT Young Scientist competition this year. it is the first time that Scoil Naomh Eltin are taking on this exciting project. The girls and boys in fifth class have been investigating the Commogue Marsh particularly in light of the immense change in this area in the past 10 -15 years. Where once there were fields there are now hundreds of houses. These houses border on the Marsh and we are fascinated at how life goes on in the Marshland in spite of such change. We are closely monitoring the marsh and investigating the life there in.
