5th Class Euro Soccer Championship

On Tuesday we started a soccer competition called euro 2016. We have 12 teams, each with 4 to a team. Each team is named after a European country, e.g. Ireland, England. Two teams at a time play against each other to see who wins. Mr McGovern referees. While the two teams are playing soccer, Ms Fitzpatrick referees rounders. She splits us into two different teams and one team bats while the other team catches. After you bat, you have to run as fast as you can to the first base. When the next person bats, you have to run to second base and so on. Two people can’t be at the same base at the same time. After three teams play soccer, we all do some stretches. The teams that have won so far are England Slvakia and Northen Ireland have won. Hopefully Ireland will win in their friendly match tonight in the Aviva stadium!!

A Special Visitor

Yesterday we met Ookey. Ookey is a guide dog who has been living in Cavan for the last couple of years working with a little boy who has autism. His owner told us all about his training and what we should do if we see a guide dog out in public.
