Active Week by Stephen Tuohy
On the 12th June 2017 St.Colmcille’s started their annual Active Week. The teams were Green Goblins, Grey Greyhounds, Red Devils, Black Panthers, Yellow Bellies, Blue Skies, Tipp Toppers and White Ghosts.
MONDAY- On Monday my favourite activity was the basketball. In our first match we came up against Tipp Toppers. It was a tough match but we won it by the skin of our teeth 6-4. So we were into the semi finals and we were playing White Ghosts. It was a fantastic match but nothing could separate the 2 teams. The final score 8-8. So we would have to settle the match on a free-throw shootout. After a lot of shots White Ghosts reigned supreme 1-0 in the shootout. We ended up playing the yellow bellies in a 3rd place playoff and we won 10-6 giving us 3 points.
TUESDAY- My favourite activity on Tuesday was the penalty shootout I scored 5 of my 6 penalties giving me 2nd place Cormac bourke came 1st and Daniel Devanney came 3rd
WEDNESDAY- On Wednesday we did a treasure hunt in the park. Ms. Bergin hid clues around the park and each team had to go find them. We had a pretty fast time of 28 mins and 39 secs giving us 3rd place
Our team the Green Goblins went on to win Active week for the first time ever and it was the best Active Week I ever had.
Draughts final 2017 by Mikey Fogarty
On Wednesday 14th Tom Corcoran played Michael Cahill in Draughts final 2017 in the hall.
Tom Corcoran was leading the game. But Michael came back and won the game.
Then Michael played Sean collier in the final. Sean won with a sneaky double jump near the end. I think Michael knew that Sean beat him after that double jump at the start.
In the end Sean came first Michael came second and Tom came third and in the connect 4 peter Breen came first Sean Walsh came second and Tom collier came third it was a lovely day.

Active week 2017 by Oscar Duggan
On Wednesday the 14th the third day of Active week. The ice cream van came to our school. It came to the school around two o’ clock.
We each got one ice cream and the teachers got one too. First class went first then second and so on. The ice cream van left around half two. The parents association organized it.
It was a great day and I was happy that it came to school. I thank the teachers and the parents association for making it possible.

Sports Day by Dale Scully
It was the 15th June 2017. It was sports day. We held sports day in Templemore Athletic Track and it was a lovely day.
The first thing was the obstacle course. It was fun but we got knocked out. It wasn’t a great start. I loved doing the shot put that was my favourite. We also did long jump sack races and the find your shoe race. I came fourth and I came second in the dribbling race. It was a wet and sunny day but a great day. I enjoyed the day. Then we came back to school to get told the winners.
The green goblins won and the blue skies came second last but didn’t bother me because I enjoyed the week.
