MARINO BOOK WEEK - Ciara
O'Dwyer.
On Tuesday
the 12th June 2001 the top two classes went to Marino
school in Bray. We were invited to their Book week. They
had all read a book and told us about it. Seomra Cuchulainn,
and Seomra Setanta had also read books for the occasion.
We were made very welcome. Some of the pupils in Bray
had read very violent stories especially Lucy. Her story
was about murder. She even wrote her own story as well.
Some of the pupils from Sandymount had read biographies
abut such people as Dawn French David Beckham and Geri
Haliwell. Hearing about all the different books that Marino
read has inspired the Sandymount students to get down
to their local Libraries and book shops and start reading
more books. We had lunch which was chips sandwiches and
drinks. After that we went out to their school yard to
play football and to hang out.

SUNDAY
CLUB
Believe it
or not the Sunday club celebrates it fifth year this.
It hard to believe that it was five year ago, when we
started off with our first Halloween party and what a
party that was. The year 2000-2001 was a busy one. The
Sunday club ran for the months of October, February, and
April with parties, discos, a Christmas quiz, barbeque
and a visit to the pantomime. If you missed any of those
don't worry you can come to the Family Fun day, on July
1st and have yourself and you family and friends a fun
day out. If you didn't get a note about it ask your teacher
or ring Laura at 6680079. See you on the 1st!!!! PUFFIN
