Barbara finishes Marathon

On Monday Barbara came to visit us. She showed us her medal and her t shirt. She got a medal because she completed the marathon. Hundereds of people entered the marathon. Barbara gave us some sweets. Five of the people stopped but two collapsed. It was very hot. She had to run up hills. She said it was very hard. When she was nearly at the finish line she grabbed Lucy and Eve and ran over to the finish line with them. We are very proud of Barbara!

Bhí an oíche an-mhaith.

The Kildare Run

Barbara Deane is running a marathon in Kildare this Sunday. She is raising money for our school. All of the children have sponsor cards to help raise money. Barbara is Eve’s mammy. She has been training very hard. It is a big race. We think she is very brave. We made good luck cards. Go Barbara!

Our First Holy Communion

We are making our First Holy Communion on the 20th of May. There are five children making it- Sophie, Grace, Shauna, Rosaleen and Kian. We are very excited. We are learning our prayers. We are doing the prayers of the faithful and the first and second readings. We are singing a song called This Little Light Of Mine. Most of the school will be joining in. We are putting pieces of art in the church. After the mass we are going up to the Community Centre to get some treats. We had to go shopping for our special clothes. It will be the best Communion ever.

The End By Sophie and Grace.

The Zoo By Orla

On Friday my family and I went to the zoo in Dublin. It was fun and we saw a meercat and a giraffe and lots of other things too. My favourite animal was the meercat because they are so funny. One of them is a watch out and one of them babysits the baby. Then I seen the River Liffey and a lot of double decker buses and a lot of boats. We went to Dublin Bay. Then we stayed in Longford and it was fun. And then we went out for dinner. It was my brother’s birthday the next day and we went out for another dinner. I was so sleepy and exhausted!

Cycle Safety

Every Thursday for the past three weeks we have had a cycle safety programme. We had to cycle into school and at half eleven a man called Gerry came in to teach us about cycle safety. He taught us a lot about the road worthy skills which means knowing how to be safe on road. He showed us a lot of skill games too. He always took us as a group: 5th and 6th went first and 3rd and 4th went then. He used to have a few bikes with him in case any one forgot their bike. He brought a couple of helmets too. He had a few schools to go to as well as our school. When he was finished with us (which was last week) he had to go to Longford this week. He was teaching a school up there about cycle safety. It was great fun while he was here and we learned lots from him.

An deireadh seachtaine ~ the weekend

My cousin Kendra is getting married on Saturday next. On Friday my cousins Ciara and Ruby are coming from England to go to Kendra and Alan’s wedding. Ciara is 14 and Ruby is 5. The wedding is on Saturday and the after party is on Sunday. I have got my dress and shoes for the wedding. My dress is pink and my shoes are pink too. Hayleigh has a dark blue dress with lots of patterns, Rebecca has a light blue maxi dress, Erin has a red-ish kind of dress.

I am really looking forward to the wedding.
