Special Seniors Day & Green Flag Raising

Our Special Seniors day and the raising of the Green flag

On Friday morning we had our Special Seniors day and the raising of the Green flag. Some of us asked a Special Senior to come in to the school for the day. Tommy, Eve’s Grandad brought in some old artefacts that they used long ago. He had old lanterns, an old pram, a record player, a churn and lots of others. We listened to a record. It was good fun. Bernie came in to make some boxty. It was nice. We wrote things about our Special Seniors and read it out to the whole school on the day. We played the tin whistles. Third, fourth, fifth and sixth played the base guitar, tin whistles and the melodicas. They played the Sally Gardens, Tell me ma and The star of the county down. It was great. Tom McHale and Eugene sang a song for us. We raised the Green Flag after lunch. The weather was very bad. We had a mass after that. We played bells and sang songs. We all had treats afterwards. It was a great day.

We also had some games with our parachute. A man came to speak to us about water safety during the week. we learned lots of different things and he was very funny.
On Monday, we had our finals for all of the activities. It was great fun. The teams who won got a medal.
Everyone got a medal for taking part and trying their best. The All Stars for the Gaelic football got a trophy each. They were Leanne, Leah, Padraig and Lorcan. We also had a bounceathon. We all had lots of turns on the castle. During the week we all went swimming too, as part of our tour and while the older children went to the cinema, we went to Tumble Jungle. It was super! We really enjoyed Active week.

On our school tour
Last week we went on our school tour. It was fun. First we went to the toilet in the morning and after that we went on to the bus. We were all excited when the bus was going. We went to Enniscrone swimming. When we arrived we all ran into the gate. We got ready and some of us just went straight up the stairs to the water slide. After everyone got dressed we went out to eat our lunch. Some of us got popcorn and ice cream. We went on the bus to drop off the older people to the cinema then finally we got to Tumble Jungle. It was really fun because there were lots of bouncy castles and things to play with. After we went to collect the big ones and we went to Supermacs to get something to eat. Some of us got ice cream and some sweets and then we went on the bus all the way back home again. We really enjoyed our tour.

The Thing


This morning when I came into school there was a fat blob that looked like an alien sitting in class. He was very shy, I asked him his name and he said it was “Shawacka Laka Boom Boom and I come from Timbuktu’. When class started, the blob sat down next to Seamus and the minute Seamus saw him he went red with laughter. The blob was a bit of a nutter because when the teacher walked in he ran out to the yard singing “I love fish sticks!” We calmed him down and when we did we asked him how old he was. After a while he did tell us how old he was “I’m 50,000,000 years young!” he said.
At breaktime the blob went round making rude noises in people’s faces. And then after awhile he went into the school and kicked the staffroom door down, he ate all the biscuits and drank all the tea.

After that the teacher threw him out and he never came back!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Artefacts

We have been bringing in some old artefacts as part of our preparation for our Special Seniors Day. We have seen an old ship’s compass where the face of the compass was on a swivel, an old iron which was excruciatingly heavy, an old wedding album with beautiful black and white pictures, a photo of a nun from long ago and a prayer book. We also saw special implement for keeping a cow from choking, a bellows for the fire, an old camera and a very old camera. We saw an old black pot for cooking in and a weight for fishing.

Cuairteoirí aisteacha in ár rang ~ Weird visitors in our classroom

On Monday a little green monster came to our school.
At first everybody was scared and we ran into the yard. He was kind of friendly.He came from Mars and they age like dogs.Right now he is 44 years old, but in dogs years he is 301.
He likes all the things I like.I think he’d be a good pet.

He can do a lot of tricks like a mini magician.We call him Hundi.
