Apprentice Masterchefs!
[slideshow id=89]
Mr. Booth’s 5th and 6th classes ventured next-door to our friendly neighbours in Ringsend College for some cooking lessons this week. The boys were in the very capable hands of Ms. Nugent who guided them through the steps necessary to cook a delicious lasagne. I’m sure the boys’ families are all looking forward to having a tasty meal served up to them some day soon! Many thanks to Ringsend College and especially to Ms. Nugent for her help (and patience!). Pictures to follow…

TV Soccer Stars!
Céilim Gannon and Igor Bartosiak were chosen by RTE to film a promo for their new series ‘Football’s Next Star’ in the Aviva Stadium. Jake O’Neill was also chosen but unfortunately he was too young and couldn’t attend. Former pupil Jonathon Egan and Brandon Kinsella from Marian College completed the quartet of footballers. Here is Céilim and Igor’s account of their day filming:
Jonathon Tormey from the FAI picked us up from school at 1:30pm and we went straight to the Aviva. The RTE film crew from TRTE were there and we started filming straight away for a promo called ‘Can you kick it?’ There were 2 directors and a cameraman and sound engineer. We had to dribble with a ball through cones and shoot into a goal. We had to re-shoot the scenes from different angles. We learned that making TV programmes takes a long time! We played football tennis and had heading competitions and also played ‘keppie uppie’. We also had to ask quiz questions for the viewers of ‘Football’s Next Star’ which will appear in the programme. We were given popcorn, jellies and water and then went on a tour of the stadium. We got to sit in the manager’s chair and saw the dressing rooms and warm-up areas. It was cool to see inside the stadium. They even have an astro pitch inside the stadium for warming up the players indoors. The edited programme should be on trte’s facebook site next week so you can see us in action then.

There were also great performances by Scott Collopy and Cian O’ Reilly. Ceilim Gannon dazzled with his outrageous skills throughout. For many of the boys it was their first game of Gaelic and for others it was their first time playing for a team so well done to all involved. Players: Craig, Igor, Dylan, Cian, Dean, Joshua, Cian, Ceilim, Evan, Philip, Jack, Jake, Lee, Stephen, Samuel, Matteuscz, Scott and Rhys. Keep up the good work boys!
