Welcome back to school.

My Summer Holidays

I went to 7 places, and Michéal came to my house. He had a sleepover. I went to Michéal's house and we played football and darts.  We played in his treehouse. I also cycled to his granny's house.  His granny gave us lots of sweets. written by Maurice.

Disneyland

In November I am going to Disney land, Paris. I am going with my Auntie and my cousins. I am looking foward to it. I will be gone for three or four days. I will have my own suitcase and my own Passport. I can't wait. I will be tired when I get there.  This is a picture of the Eiffel Tower in Paris. written by Rae-Anne.

SHARKS

The shark family includes the world’s largest and fiercest fish. Many sharks have a wedge-shaped head, a long body and a triangular back fin that often sticks out of the water. The eyes of the hammerhead stand at the end of his flattened head. You can see sharks at an aquarium. written by by Cian
Quiz The fiercest shark is, the Great White, the Hammerhead or the Blue? Answer at side of page.

The Great White  

My Garden

This is my house and garden. There are really big beech trees in our garden and one fell down. We have a big lawn in front and I have a soccer net on it. In our back garden we have lots of plants and a water fountain and swings and a slide too.  Joe Keane made us a bird house and every winter we put seeds and nuts into it for the birds to eat. by Micheál

When I went to legoland

When I went to Lego land it was the best day of my life. We did everything we could. We started off looking at a city made of lego. Then we saw a dinosaur about 200m high made of lego and a building made as if the dinosaur knocked it down. Later we went on a roller coaster and a pirate ship. We also did a driving test where we had to drive around in small cars. There were traffic lights and signs like on a real road. I was in a red car. I passed my test and I got my license. 

After that we went driving a boat in a lake. An elephant squirts water at you but I was lucky to escape that. I was racing my family and I just managed to beat them. Later we did the Pirate Falls. I went with my uncle and cousin. We had to go down a very big hill into water, the other two got soaked but I didn’t. After that we went on a roller coaster to the Dragon's Castle. We took a train back to the car park and we went home very tired.

Knockmaun Castle

Knockmaun Castle is big and round,

And far from the ground,

It’s tall and high,

With the Brickey river running by.  

A long time ago Cromwell fired his shot,

With a canon ball did he not,

Knockmaun castle fell down,

As many people had to frown,

And that was the end of Knockmaun Castle.  By Jack

My Calf

My calf is 5 months old. It was born on March 9th. I bought it from my uncle for one hundred Euro. It is a red herford heifer calf. It will be killed 2 years time. It went off the milk when it was 2 months old. It will be on the nuts for the rest of Autumn and Winter. It will be going into the shed soon. There will be 7 other cavles in with her. It will be going with the older and stronger calves. It shoud be getting straw around this time.     written by David.

New South Wales

New South Wales is the oldest state in Australia. It is on the east coast and Sydney is the capital and the largest city. It has 1110 km of coastline from Point Danger in the north to Cape Howe in the south. To the west there is fertile land and mountains called the Great Dividing Range. It has a mild climate. Their summers are warm and with little rainfall. The native people are called Aborigines and there are about 56,000 living in the state. About a third of Australia’s sheep are raised in New South Wales. Wheat,  bananas, potatoes, sugar and tobacco are also grown.  

Recently our classroom got key pals from Ingleburn, New South Wales. The school is called The Holy Family and their playground is joined on to a park called Koala Park. There are 30 children in their classroom and their teacher is called Ian Bell.
