Leaving Cert results today. I hope all my Secondary colleagues had lots of sucess and their pupils were happy with their results. Summer is nearly over. Time to get school books, uniforms etc ready for next school year. There is always a sense of sadness when the summer holidays come to an end but we can't complain! Two best things about being a teacher...........July and August!

Back in Cork for a few days. We've had lots and lots of rain in Kerry! Hopefully August will be better. I had a very pleasant afternoon yesterday on the beach in Kells Bay. It was overcast but very warm and still. I can't believe July is nearly over!

Last day of summer inservice course tomorrow. It's on Interactive Whiteboards and I'm learning loads. It's very relaxed with plenty of opportunities for "hands on" experience. But I won't feel I'm on my holidays properly 'till it's over. Then I'm over the county bounds into the Kingdom like a greyhound out of a trap! Happy holidays everyone! See you all in September!

Good luck to everyone, results out Wednesday!

Back from a great weekend in Glenbeigh. The weather was fab and the craic was mighty too. Everyone was in great form and there's no nicer place to be in fine weather than the Kingdom!

1st June, last month of term and heading for June weekend. Going to Glenbeigh on Saturday for a few days. Hopefully the weather will hold. All the kids on holidays so no lunches to make! Big day at school today as the hurling team won the Sciath na Scoil final . The boys were delighted with themselves. Most of the pupils went as support so today was an usual day with the kids so excited.
