Sylvia and David’s 5th classes went to see the play ‘The Bus’ in The Axis Theatre in Ballymun on Wednesday.

Georgie said that ‘The Bus’ is a really good play about bullying and friendship. Gil and Isobel thought that the play was exciting and they liked the happy ending.

Ruby liked the way one actor would play two or three characters. Molly thought that the play was not only fun and interesting but also had meaning.

Hannah liked all the different personalities of the characters. Ailbhe liked the way the main actor was retelling the story from the past.

We all enjoyed the trip out and would recommend the play to everyone. Sylvia & David

Both 3^rd classes attended the play The Bus in The Axis in Ballymun this week. The play examined bullying in detail and left us with food for thought for discussions on this topic! Oisín

Patrick competed on Sunday for Cabra Judo Club in the Leinster Championships in Phibblestown Co. Dublin and won a silver medal in his category.  He had 4 hard fights against the toughest competition from all over Ireland, winning the first 3 and narrowly losing out on the gold medal in a great show of character despite injuring his knee in the first fight.
