On  the 15th  of  October, Derek  Savage  and the chairman  of the Cortoon  Shamrocks  G.A.A  club Tom Kelly  came to visit  the  school with 'Sam Maguire', the  All  Ireland  Senior championship  cup!
      Johnny Ryan a photographer from our local newspaper "The Tuam Herald" came also and took a few photographs of the pupils with Derek Savage holding the cup. Within a month our photograph was featured on the back page of "The Tuam Herald".
       It was a very special occasion for the school, because Derek Savage plays for our local club Cortoon Shamrocks!

For many years Brownsgrove N.S has been involved in Cortoon Community Games. The two main activites  are athletics and projects. Two groups of pupils in our school have made it through to the All Ireland in Mosney. The topic for both groups is Trees.
                              Avril Nestor and Aislinn Malony got second first place in the semi final Gillian Rattigan , Tiffany Knight and Emily Lynot were in second place. In athletics we have also done very well . Sinead Rattigan has made it through to the all Ireland final in Mosney.

All the pupils went to see Harry Potter before Christmas.We went on a bus. It was very good.I sat with my friends Emily, Gillian and Tiffany.The movie is about a wizard called Harry Potter.He lives with his aunt and uncle .They have a little boy called Dudley.They are very mean to Harry. His bed is under the stairs. One morning when it was Dudley's birthday he came down the stairs so noisly that Harry's room started to fill with dust.So Harry had to get out. A few days later letters started falling down the chimney.The next day they moved to a lighthouse. That night Hagrid came and told Harry he was a wizard and then Harry went away with him. Then he brought Harry to buy stuff. Then they got on a train to Hogwarts. When Harry was on the train he met a boy called Ron and then a girl called Hermione. I think the movie was really good. I had a great time.
