All Ireland Football Final 2010. [A Report by Natasha Singhal]
The All -Ireland final was played in Croke Park ,Dublin. It was Cork vs Down. The match was especially important for Cork as it was a chance for them to win the Sam Maguire for the first time after 20 years.
The Stadium was filled with thousands of people .The supply of tickets was running low and lots of people were trying to get their hands on them.
The atmosphere of the stadium was electric and the sound of the supporters cheering was deafening .The red and white colours and the Down colours were seen all around the stadium.
Cork had a pre-match scare with Captain Graham Canty who was injured and did not play with the starting 15.
Both teams started with quick play. Down held the upper hand with quick passing and good defence through its half backs Declan Rooney and Kevin Mckerrnan.
Down led at half time 0-8 to 0-5.Coach Couniham then itroduced Nicholas Murphy and Graham Canty.Now the team had their powerful players. They started to play better and used possession wisely.
Cork got the lead in the 56 minute through Paul Kerrigan.They maintained the lead till the end to win by 0-16 to-15.

Animal Farm
Our novel at the moment is Animal Farm by George Orwell so we availed of this photo opportunity when the mobile farm visited our school yesterday."Four legs good. Two legs bad"!

Sports for All!
Scorching sunshine meant that our sports for all day was a real success! We played unihoc, made our way round obstacle courses, practiced hula hooping, ran relays, dodged balls and went on a hunt for lost shoes. It was our last sports day in Scoil Nioclais and was a very memorable one!

Our Maori Dance!
This month in our music programme we've been learning sporting anthems and chants, which gave us a good excuse to learn the words and actions to the famous Haka, which originates from the 1820's. It is usually performed by the All Blacks Rugby team before going into 'battle', but we practiced it in school today and frightened a few junior infants who were looking on!
Indoor Bowls with Jack!
Some boys from our class have been learning how to play indoor bowls with mentor Jack Lynch and are hoping to take part in a tournament between schools around the city. Its different to the sports we usually play in Scoil Nioclais and the boys are really enjoying it.
