Freaky Fruity Feast Friday by Rachel Quirke

 On Friday, the 27^th of October we had a “Freaky Fruity Feast Friday” and everybody in the school dressed up in their Halloween costumes. We also had a Walk on Friday, where everybody walked part of the way to school. We went to the G.P Room where we made smoothies with a special bicycle. Kieran Pfeiffer was the first to cycle the bike then Hugh Lane had a go as well but the chain came off and that was the end of the smoothies. We had a competition for juniors to 2^nd class where they had to make up a name for a  smoothie and 3^rd to 6^th class had to make up a name for a  smoothie and the recipe. In the end Eve Cloonan won in the junior’s competition and the name of her smoothie was “Devil’s Deadly Delight”. Lily Kennedy won in the senior’s level and the name her smoothie was “Brain Freeze”. We all had a great day!!!
