We are all big Dublin GAA supporters in Room 18. Today we made a lovely poster for the All Ireland Football Final on Sunday in Croke Park where Dublin will play Mayo for the second year in a row. Last year we got to hold the Sam Maguire cup when it came to our school. We hope we get to see it again this year! Best of luck to both teams.

Running in first class!

Junior Hurling Blitz
On Wednesday 7th June the hurlers of 3rd and 4th class travelled to Dolphin Park to participate in the Kevin’s Junior Hurling School Blitz. 5 other schools competed in the competition – Saint Catherine’s, Scoil Iosagáin, Francis Street, Saint James’s and Griffith Barracks. Each and every one of the 26 St. Clare’s players performed excellently on the day, representing the school with a fantastic display of skill, determination and discipline. We were unbeaten in all 5 of our games, conceding an overall total of just 4-1. The cup was proudly carried back to Harold’s Cross. Well done boys!!
Run a Mile in Junior Infants
We have been doing ‘Run a Mile’ this year in Junior Infants. We have been running on Friday mornings and have been doing a great job remembering to bring our boot bags. We have great fun and Ms Shaughnessy and Ms O’Leary said we are definitely getting fitter! Here are some pictures of us doing ‘Run a Mile’ and PE.
