Legends, Riddle and Magic Tricks!!!

On Tuesday we went to the library to hear a man read a book for us. When we got there, there was another class from another school there, they were 5th class too! He read Irish myths and legends. One of them was Fionn the giant. He also gave us riddles and questions. One of them was what do devils eat but if we eat it we will die. The answer to that is nothing. He also did magic tricks. He had a book with pictures that weren’t coloured then he closed the book and when he opened it all the pictures were coloured. He also read a book called the monkeys paw. That book was my favourite of them all!

Lava lamps

Miss Masterson made cool lava lamps with the class and these lucky ladies got to take them home.

Dance

The school is now doing dance class due to swimming being finished on Thursdays. It is a good sport and is very energetic which is great for PE. The cost for dance is 5 euro. Enough with the money, dance class will be great fun for all of the school and we will get a good time out of it. Many may already be good dancers but it doesn’t hurt to still do it. Now that the school does dancing I’m sure it isn’t that boring others think it is!

1916 Centenary

On Wednesday two members from the Irish army presented our school with a national flag and the Irish proclamation to mark the 100th anniversary of the 1916 Easter Rising. The whole school gathered in the hall and we all sang the national anthem. On the 16th March 2016 we will raise the flag outside our school.

What we've been up to...

In school we went to the library. We got to pick out a book to read for a week and brought it back to the library. It was so fun and after we got to take a class picture with the books. The next day we all got to make a smoothie out of banana, honey, strawberry and strawberry yogurt. We blended it all and it turned out great!!! We wrote how it tasted while drinking it. It was so so yummy!! I want it again. After a few weeks we started swimming. It’s on every Thursday. It’s only on for six weeks and at the end of the week we get to go on the slides. Today we dug sand and found things from the past, we found a coin called punt. Lots of cool stuff was there. We got our hands dirty but we had so much fun!!!
