Easter Bunny visits Shrone!
ALPHABANDIT
The Senior Room are launching their second publication today -"ALPHABANDIT", a handy English tips book, by kids for kids.
The book is published as part of the Junior Entrepreneur Project.
It will really help students in 3rd- 6th class with their writing skills with suggestions like words to use instead of 'said' or 'then', a Proof Reading Checker and lists of regularly misspelled words.
The book content was chosen by the pupils and designed along the theme of bandits, prison and "crimes against English".
This is the second year that the Senior Room has been involved in JEP. Last year the pupils came up with a handy Maths Book idea and published a book called "Sea the Facts". They managed to sell 200 copies of the book and subsidised their school tour to Dublin. They also had €50 left over that they reinvested in their project this year.

Ghost - The Musical
Today the senior room were transported to New York during the musical of Ghost. The characters were: Molly, Sam, Carl, Oda Mae, Willie Lopez and the Subway Ghost.
It was awesome! Our favourite part was when the nuns were given 10 million dollars!!
The music was very exciting. We were 5 rows away from the stage. The orchestra were in front of the stage. We saw musicians playing violins, saxophones, trumpets, flute, double base, drums, piano and a keyboard. The conductor was in charge of the orchestra and he was playing the piano. His name was Noel Lennon.
There were 2 acts. There were lots of scenes in each act. The first act was definitely longer than the second act. There was a interval in between. Our favourite scenes in act 1 were: When Sam got shot and when we met Oda Mae for the first time. Our favourite scenes in act 2 were: The umbrellas, the bank scene, Oda Mae talking to the bank manager and taking all his pens. Another scene we really enjoyed were the Subway scenes. The lighting and choreography made it seem like the stage was a real life Subway station.
We were very impressed with how the set moved. There was men in black clothes who came onto the stage and moved the large platforms between scenes.
We think the sound effects were brilliant. We heard the gun shots and when the glass shattered on the picture frame. At the end of act 1, There was a huge bolt of lightning projected onto the screen and the thunder sound was so loud and real sounding that it gave us all a fright!
During the final scene, Sam went to a new life in heaven. We were very impressed with the background, the lighting, the smoke, the projectors and the sounds.
