P7 Plant Sale

The P7 Plant Sale on Monday 13th May was a tremendous success. During the weeks before the sale, the P7 pupils were busy sowing seeds, planting up hanging baskets and containers, painting pots, making posters, decorating t-shirts, and producing plant information sheets. We’d like to thank everyone who supported the sale – from the parents who bought a box full of plants to the children who spent their pocket money on a sunflower or pot of sweet pea!  A big thank you to Ms Shelia Smart for making our grounds look so beautiful and her wonderful work with the children. It is really appreciated.

As you can imagine both Mum and Dad are very proud of their achievement especially as they were only 3 ½ when they filmed everything. They spent a week in the Dungeons of Shanes Castle, scary enough for an adult never mind two toddlers!

We, in St. Ita’s are so proud of Logan and Finn and their wonderful acting success at such a young age. To be part of the global phenomenon that is ‘Game of Thrones’ is unbelievable!

Who knows what lies ahead for these two young boys. Hollywood may be calling very soon!

We wish them every success in their future acting careers. Well done boys; you are absolute stars!
