We got some great news in our classroom a few weeks ago. Ellie Rooney won a competition to name the new Fire and Rescue Boat in Limerick. She had chosen the name “Fireswift”.
Ellie was invited to an occasion at Steamboat Quay to celebrate her win. The Mayor of Limerick helped her to reveal the name in front of a big crowd. She got a chance to sit into the boat and have some photos taken. She was interviewed by the radio and some newspapers. Of course Ellie did us and her family proud.
Then came a big surprise for Ellie. She was presented with an IPAD Mini!!
Ellie, her family and teachers were invited to the Clarion for some refreshments. We all had a great afternoon.
Here are a few photos of the beautiful sunny afternoon…….
