Challenge Winners and Principal's Orders!!

28/5/2020

 
Good morning girls,

Well myself and the staff had such fun last night revealing the Staff Fun Facts! Ms Rooney was the winner getting nine correct and Ms Haughton came second with eight correct. I won't have time this morning to make a little video to tell you some of the stories, but I will do it as soon as I can- some of them are hilariuos! I have to meet the two 5th classes on Zoom, do some food deliveries and then attend a principal's meeting on another Zoom call, so it's a very busy day today!

Here are the answers:
  1. Who has seen three of the seven wonders of the world, and was supposed to see a fourth this year but unfortunately due to the Covid 19 pandemic, had to cancel the trip? Ms Fleming
  2. Who starred in three episodes of the tv programme ‘Aifric’ on TG4? MS Cassidy
  3. Who matches the colour of her glasses to the colour of her clothes she wears to school every day? Ms Brennan
  4. Who has a crooked baby finger on her right hand? Ms Farrell
  5. Who had an article written about them aged 10, that took up the whole front page of their local newspaper? Ms Farrell-McCabe
  6. Who started school aged 3, in a buggy, with a broken leg? Ms Greene
  7. Who has a phobia about Daddy Long Legs getting tangled in her hair? Ms Bourke
  8. Who has appeared on both Ireland AM and Good Morning America? Ms Haughton
  9. Who thought only wealthy people had brown eyes when they were a little girl? Ms Holden
  10. Who has a pet rock, that lives in a coconut? Ms Behan
  11. Who has done a parachute jump? Ms Fitzpatrick
  12. Who once cycled their bike straight into a parked car and sprained their ankle? Ms Hanly
  13. Who has had two close encounters with sharks whilst swimming in the sea? Ms Malone
  14. Who can do a headstand? Ms O Dea
  15. Who, in her early days of teaching in OLV before smart phones were invented, got locked into the school one afternoon and had to be rescued by the caretaker? Ms Callinan
  16. Who has represented Ulster in the Under 8 100m sprint? Ms Thomas
  17. Who once fed a brown bear honey? Ms Smith
  18. Who once fainted and fell into a bath of fish? Ms Rooney
  19. Who has a brown belt in karate? Jackie

And the winners are......... it was a DRAW!!!! Two €20 Just Eat vouchers are on the way to Amelia in Room 4 and Lorena in Room 2!!!!!! Well done girls!!

STRICT INSTRUCTIONS FROM THE PRINCIPAL TODAY
I have a funny feeling that if we were still in school today and they had predicted temperatures to hit 22-26, we would have organised something fun to do like a trip to the park. So only do a teeny tiny bit of English, Irish and Maths today- don't worry about getting in trouble, it's principal's orders! Get out and enjoy the day- that goes for the staff too! 

Slán gach duine,
Ms Greene
