The water activities were our favourite.

We rate this tour 10/10

We needed 700 points to win this prize.

It was hard work getting to 700, but it was worth it.

Our May Alter

May is the month of Mary.

We are learning the prayer to Mary "Hail Mary" in Irish.

Sé do bheatha, a Mhuire,

atá lán de ghrásta,

Tá an Tiarna leat.

Is beannaithe thú idir mná,

Agus is beannaithe toradh do bhroinne; Íosa.

A Naomh-Mhuire,

a Mháthair Dé,

guigh orainn na peacaigh,

anois, agus ar uair ár mbáis.

Amen.

Emma attended a Swimming Gala last Saturday and won three medals!
