4th class sponsored silence

April 10th 2000

On Wednesday of last week we had a draw to see who would design the sheets for our sponsored silence. Ebhlin picked out Orlagh, Fiona, Emmet and Padraigs names. They designed 3 lovely sheets on the computer for us to choose from. We all took our favourite home with us on Thursday. We had Friday, Saturday, and Sunday to get some sponsors. The teacher said we would be silent on Monday from 9 30 am till 12 30pm. Soon it was Monday and after the prayers we started. If we had to get a message to some one we wrote a note.

Break time came but we stayed in and kept silent.

At 12 o clock some children were picked to go up to certain teacher with a note to ask for sponsoring. It was soon half twelve and we could speak again. It was not hard although some people found it difficult.

All the money will be sent to Mozambique.
