Cross Country Running

The class of 3rd , 4th, 5th and 6th went to a cross country running in Fál Mór.

 We all got on the bus I sat beside Matthew. We where very worried about the race we were talking about lots of things to take out minds off our worries.

 The first race was for 3rd and 4th boys. Padraig came 6th, Lorcán came 8th and they qualified for the next round.

The second race was 3rd and 4th girls. Leanne came in 7th place and she qualified. Erin tripped and hurt her ankle.

The third race was 5th and 6th girls. Hayleigh qualified here.

The last race was the 5th and 6th boys. There were 60 people in 5th and 6th boys race.

After that race everyone went behind the buses to get out of the wind for the presentation. After the presentation everyone went back to school. We did not get a lot of homework. I was very tired when I went home. Then I went to bed after having something to eat.

A week at school

On Monday, we did PE  at 11 30 till 12. There were very few children in. We practised for the cross-crountry running that was on Tuesday and also played some games. We had alot of fun. We went home at 3 o clock.

On Tuesday we went to cross-crountry running. The bus came for us at 10:30. When we got there we sat down till the races began. The race was very hard. Four of us got through to the cross- crountryfinal in Ballina.

On Wednesday we did loads….. of WORK!! At breaktime we played soccer with 3rd and 4th class. Leah was not in on Wednesday.

We have been looking at our flags to see which dirction the wind has been blowing.

What is this blog about?

When we celebrated our 125th year in existence as a school, we wanted to learn about life and times 125 years ago. We found that it was quite difficult to get information about that time.

Now, we are beginning this blog to show everyone what life and times are like now, here in Inver, beginning in 2010. In 125 years time, when visitors want to see what life was like here, they need only click on our blog. We also welcome more current visitors too!

Ar ais ar scoil ~ Back at school 2010

Tá na laethanta saoire thart agus tá gach duine ar ais ar scoil. Bhi an-samhradh ag gach duine mar bhi féile mór againn don 125ú breithlá den scoil. Bhi comórtas váls do na daoine fásta oiche amháin agus oiche spraoi do na páisti oiche eile. Bhi lá oidhreachta againn agus Aifreann chomh maith. Chuaigh na daoine fásta chuig dinnéar mór san óstán agus bhi an-spraoi againn ar an la spoirt thios in aice an chladaigh.

Bhi obair mor ar siuil sa scoil freisin. Bhi dion nua curtha ar an scoil i rith an tsamhraidh…chomh maith le urlár nua agus sreangú leichteach nua.

Tá muid chun blog nua a thosnú anseo ionas go mbeidh sé easca do dhaoine i 125 bliain eile feiceáil an sort saol agus scoil atá againne anois. Ni bheidh le deanamh ag daoine i 2135 ach cliceáil ar blog seo chun gach rud a fheiceáil!

We have had an exciting summer! We had our amazing 125 celebrations to mark the fact that our school is 125 years old this year and now we are back at school again. Everyone enjoyed the social in the community centre and the waltzing competition. The children enjoyed their party night with games and competitions and disco. The<em>Memory Lane Day</em> brought all kinds of great memorabilia out of the woodwork, with interesting talks by Tommy Deane and Professor Seamus Caulfield. Everyone went for refreshemtns and entertainment to the Lighthouse Tavern afterwards. After the 125 Mass, everyone had a scintillating night out at the 125 Gala Dinner Dance in the Braodhaven Bay Hotel in Belmullet. We all loved the Sports Day on Inver Banks in Val Conway’s field. There was a pony show and curragh races on as well.
During the break, we got a new roof on the school…as well as a new floor and new wiring! Our 125 year old school is nearly new again now!

We know now that sometimes it is difficult to find information about life and times in the past. So we have set up this blog for people who might want to find out more about life and times in Inver in 2010, in 125 years time!
