Sleepover in School

Friday Nov. 12th: Classes Three to Six, in St Patrick’s, go on Camp every year. This usually involves two overnights. It is common practice in most schools and indeed there are plenty of schools in Ireland that have overnight school tours. Not so sure that they have sleepovers, though. Last night our Grade Twos had one, as their school camp. They stayed on after school and the teachers organised a long list of activities followed by tea followed by a DVD and bed. In this case it was in the school hall under the supervision of two teachers. The last child fell asleep at around midnight. Up again at seven for breakfast, provided by the teachers and then they got ready for school. Other teachers came in at 7.30 to release the overnight teacher so that they could wash and change for school.

The kids were very excited. It was the first time away from their parents for many of them. Most schools here do sleepovers for their Grade Two classes.

Anois céard déarfa faoi Ghaillimh, gan ann ach baile beag!
