Well what a fun couple of days I have had. Following on from yesterday's Maths quiz extravaganza, our brains were tested again today, this time on the metric system. I've come to the realisation that my 'spatial awareness' is not the best, as Mr Cummins asked us to gauge various measurements, including the length and width of the classroom, and the distance between Kilkenny and Mayo. My answers were way off to say the least, so I'm glad I didn't opt for a career in Engineering or the likes. We also had our homework corrected, which led to a bit of confusion as I had actually completed the wrong Irish exercise. However I redeemed myself at the last minute and manage to get the actual assignment done before Mr Cummins came round to correct it. The highlight of the school day was definitely when the kids of 5th and 6th class sang 'The Court of King Caractacus' for Gail and me. Tune into Beat Breakfast in the morning to catch a recording of it.
All in all, I had a really lovely experience in Muckalee, and am glad to note that kids today are just like we were and treated Gail and me with the utmost respect and good manners. Thanks again also to Principal and 5th and 6th class teacher Kevin Cummins and all the lovely staff at St Brendans NS.
