A quick note today as I have been in school all day and I am whacked. I'm just glad that all those years ago I decided to go for secondary and not primary. Although the kids are good it is constant , unrelenting and a long day from 8am to 3pm.
There is a vast array of ages in the class as children are classed according to ability and not age. Mind you there seems to be a huge range of ability.
When we leave the school at 3 it easily takes 30mins to walk across the yard to the priest's house where we stay as many small children want to speak to us and shake hands and ask to be our friend and can they have our email address or home address. You could be sure that many begging letters would follow. So myself and Geraldine have decided to give the address of the Mercy nuns in Ballinasloe!!
We hear that the parents and students are protesting outside their house today because of the recent news that they won't allow first years unless the government can commit to a school built by 2010..
Regards to all for now,
Margo

Hey there!
Its great to hear you sounding so upbeat and obviously buzzing!!
Sounds like a great idea to send emails to mercy sisters in ballinasloe and an even better one to have doorus kids loudly singing their way into school too!!
I think you may have just tapped into a closet talent on the writing side. Watch this space Margo Binchey!!!
Catch u soon
