Farewell to Sixthclass

June 2000
 
 
1)
I remember in 2nd class on the first day of school and all the new people (Vanessa, Michael C. and Stephen) were sitting around a circular table.
I remember in Junior Infants we were in the old school and Valerie taught Senior Infants and there used to be pictures of coloured squirrels up on the windows.
I remember in Senior Infants Norrie taught an Irish song for the Cor Fheile.  The song was about snowflakes.  When Caitriona and Patrick came in Senior Infants I remember Ian saying "you live in my granny's old house" and then they started colouring together.
In 1st class Eleanor was sick for nearly all of the year.   I remember the sub teachers.  Karen taught us "She'll be coming round the mountain when she comes".   Garret taught us an Irish poem and was out the week the other teachers came.

I remember in Junior Infants we were in the old school.  There was a little play house in the corner of the room and every morning there was a scramble to see who would get to be the mommy and the daddy.   Valerie was teaching Senior Infants and one day when Brid was out we went into her class and we all had our own packet of crayons and our own desk with a lift up top.  Valerie taught us Doh a Dear.
In Senior Infants I was the doctuir in the Cor  Fheile.  I had my own little car but on the night of the Cor Fheile the car wouldn't go so Eleanor had to push it out onto the stage.
In First Class Eleanor was our teacher but she was sick a lot of the time so we got sub-teachers.  One of them named Karen used to stand up on the table and sing.

Singing in the City Hall
We've done four of them in all
We did an opera in third
And we wrote every single word.
And now we're doing a play today
To end all of our primary school days.

The Good Days
I remember when in third class we did an opera and I was a make-up person and Vanessa put loads of make-up all over Patrick.  And I remember when we all helped for Mozambique and filled a big M with money and in the Winter Fair we finally got to be behind the stalls and how Cloud, Spark did a big painting on the wall.   They were the good times.

What I remember about the CSP is
Junior Infants - Imogen, my friend, came from Cyprus to live in Cork.  She was four.  I remember going to school with her and sitting down beside her with a few other people in a row.
Senior infants: We changed school
2nd Class:- We did a puppet show with Grames
4th Class:  Remember doing an Indian project and we saw a dance company - Diversity Dance.   Their dance was all different like out school.
3rd Class - We did an opera with Bairbre.  I was an actor.
5th Class - We did a Mural with Spark, Cloud and Mark.  Everyone in the school did a small circle.
6th Class - Children from CSP helped with dancing and singing etc in a play for Diversity Day..

I remember in Junior Infants Brid asked the oldest children from each family who were in this school to come up and take a note.   My Brother was in fifth class so I went up thinking that each class was a different school.

Remember
This poem is to remind
All of us what we're leaving behind.

Not Maths or Geography
Not even art or P.E.

This is to remind our class
That it wasn't that bad, Our C.S.P. past.

Remember Ray, a jolly old fellow
And James with the colour yellow.

I know in years to come most of you will ponder
How could you survive if school was any longer.

But then there's a group of maximum four
Who wanted to stay a tiny bit more.

I remember, I remember,
When we moved school,
I saw my friends there
Sitting at new desks,
I felt a bit nervous.

I remember, I remember,
When I was in third class,
We decided to do an opera
We all worked very hard on it
It turned out very well.

I remember, I remember,
Diversity Day
Acting,
Just doing it for fun,
And then it turned out brilliant.

I remember, I remember,
All the teachers who helped me,
To get through my work,
And they taught me what I need to know,
Thank you all.

I will remember the old school and the move to the new school. I will remember the opera and the forth and fifth school tours. I enjoyed my time in the school but I'm looking forward to secondary school.

I remember in Junior Infants when Ger was walking outside and he looked in.
Garry stuck his tongue out at him and suddenly Ger pretended to get very cross. Brid told us to all hide under our tables because Ger was coming in. Brid went and hid in the Doll House. Ger came in and looked around for a few  seconds.   We were all very quiet.  Brid then came out and said 'Okay Ger here I am'.  We all jumped out from under the tables and a few people went BOO!    Brid told us to stay very quiet for a few minutes or else Ger would get even crosser!
She then started to talk to Ger.

We remember our school tour with Ray when we went to the Aquadome. We remember Vanessa because she was really funny. We thought the opera was great and so was the school.

I remember in one play I got my lines mixed up. I was daddy bear and I said” Who’s been sitting on my bed? And there was loads of laughs.
Ian

13)
My favourite memory was definitely the Opera. I chose this because we all took part in this. Everyone in class put a lot of effort to make it. Plus we wrote the story and the lyrics for the songs. We played our own music very well. But we couldn’t have done it without the help of Bairbre.

I remember the Opera. It was great fun. I also remember the school tours we went on. This year we went to Limerick and Clare. I will also remember all the teachers, they were very nice..

My main memory was the Opera that we did in third class. We worked on it through most of the school year and we then performed in the Granary Theatre. I enjoyed it a lot.

The Opera was fabulous and it’s something I’ll ever forget. I remember second class we made puppets and then put on a puppet show for all the other classes. All the school tours we went to over the eight years were really fun and exiting. The school winter fairs were really great and very memorable. I remember the old school and the cute wooden tables with the lift up tops.

I remember in third class I went to Tralee and we went to the Aquadome and we had loads of fun. Ray was our teacher then. It was great fun on the bus because we played Gameboy and cards. After the Aquadome we went to Mc Donalds.

I remember I first day at school and I was thinking how small it was.   Brid gave everyone a lollipop and she had to give one boy two to stop him crying.  On my first day back in first class everyone was so surprised to see me because I had been away in Spain the year before.  Ann Claire and Catriona were sitting together and as I came in they gave me a huge wave and said "hi hi hi Leslie you've come back"
In First Class we had Eleanor but she was in hospital a lot so we had sub-teacher.  One teacher used to stand on the table and sing She'll be coming round the mountain.
