Video conferences with Project schools
Sixth class began the week with a video-conference with our Italian partner school. We prepared a number of questions for them and we were given some questions about Italy. Keith and Grace posed the questions and the whole class answered the Italian class.
Full marks to all. We rounded off with a lively rendition of Cailin na Gaillimhe… appropriate for Seachtain na Gaeilge.

Book Fair Update
The book fair has , as usual been a great success. Many interesting books were bought by the children in Ovens. Each classroom got some new books for the class library so many new titles are now available.
Thanks to all who supported the event. We place great emphasis on the importance of reading and it is great to have some new books to read.
Before Christmas, the children in Ovens N.S. raised a massive €5,000 for M.S. Ireland by reading lots and lots of books. This is an annual event which is always well supported by the people in Ovens and helps to encourage good reading habits in pupils.
Well done to all !
The book fair begins in Ovens today. We hope you enjoy reading the wonderful books which are for sale.

A new year begins in Ovens N.S.
Back to school on today Wednesday. A bit later than planned due to the adverse weather conditions and some frozen pipes. Luckily, no damage was done and everyone was back in action today.
Best of luck to all for the coming year. It promises to be a busy one.
This is the final year of our Comenius project so there are many activities to complete.
Star from Birmingham has arrived in Ovens. We will show him how we do things here.
Happy 2010 to all

Skipping workshops
All children in Ovens took part in a skipping workshop on November 30th and December 1st. Everyone had great fun and learned a lot of new skills.
The workshops finished with a demonstration for the whole school which took place in the local Éire Óg hall from 2 to 3 on Tuesday afternoon.
Skipping is great for keeping fit and is for everyone.
