HISTORY: Conor and James
Conor and James explained the family tree of the Greek Gods. It turns out that not all Titans came from Gaia, and there is practically a god for everything!

CEOL: Martin and Tadhgan taught a music lesson using their skills on piano and guitar. Children had to guess the note played, Tadhgan sang a Pearl Jam song and we all joined in with Martin singing his own composition "Road to Rugby".

The West Mayo / Maigh Eo Thiar Scór competition took place in Kilmeena yesterday evening and our school was very well represented by Áine Conneely, Ellen Dyar, Jasmine O'Malley and Róisín Keating.

Comhghairdeas mór do Jasmine who WON the solo singing category and now proceeds to Scór na bPáistí County Final on Saturday 8th March.

Very well done to Áine in the sean-nós dancing category and also to Ellen, Rósín, Áine and Jasmine in the instrumental category which was of a very high standard. There is no shortage of exceptional talent here in West Mayo in music, song and dance.

Míle buíochas to the parents of the children for getting them together to practise. Warm thanks to Christina and past pupil Seamie for their musical arrangements and tuition.

Go n-éirí le Jasmine sa county final!
