Green Schools – Flag No 3

We are into our 2nd year of work on the Theme of Water. Last year we did a lot of water based activities. We carried out a water survey and a water audit. It has made us more aware of the importance of saving water in our school and in our homes. We had a water code competition last year too which was won by Amy and Alison. The whole school say the rap together every now and then. This year we are hoping to keep up our good work. We are continuing to read the water metre and we also make sure that there aren’t any leaking taps around the school. We also hope to take a trip to the Water treatment plant in Carrowmore to find out all about what happens water before it comes from our tap. We cannot wait! In the mean time, we hope you do your bit at home to help make a difference. Keep an eye out on our blog or in the parish bulletin for any updates!

Ag Déanamh Ime – Making Butter

Inniú rinne muid im le Múinteoir Tracey. Ní raibh cuinneog againn ach chuir muid uachtar i bprócaí agus chroich muid é ar feadh 15 nóiméad nó mar sin. Dhóirt muid an bhláthach ón bpróca and chuir muid salann san im. Measc muid é ansin agus d’ith muid é ar arán donn. Bhí an-spórt againn.


Today we made butter with Múinteoir Tracey. We had no butter churn, so we poured cream into a jam jar and shook it vigorously. After a quarter of an hour, or so, we poured the buttermilk from the jar. We then mixed salt with the butter and shaped into cuboids. We ate it with brown soda bread and it was lovely!

Cinderella
Once upon a time the was a girl called Cinderella. She lived in a house with her mother sisters and dad. She had to do all of the housework and her step sisters did not have to do anything. Cinderella never went anywhere with her sisters. But one day Cinderella was reading the post and one letter said.”Wanted! wife for prince. A ball for everyone at 8 o clock” Cinderella called her sisters. ” I’m going ” no I’m going ” they said together . ” Can I come ? Cinderella asked. “NO” their sisters shouted. It was the time for her sisters to go to the ball ” Haha Cinderella is not coming ” her sisters whispered. Cinderella started to cry and her fairy godmother appeared ” Who are you?” she sad sadly ” your fairy godmother. I am here to help why are you crying?” she cried ” well my sisters said I can’t go to this ball that they are going to and anyway I have nothing ready I wish I had a horse and carriage and a wonderful new dress” she sadly said ” ok get me a 2 mouses a pumpkin and I can make them into whatever you wish” she said confidently Cinderella quickly ran to get everything . ” But Cinderella be back by midnight” Cinderella got to the ball. The prince took one look at Cinderella and suddenly asked her to dance . The time went quickly for Cinderella it was 5 mins to 12’o clock. Cinderella quickly ran out of the ballroom and her shoe fell off. The prince picked up the glass slipper Cinderella left after her. The clock struck 12 and Cinderella had to walk home. The next day the prince went to every house in the land trying to find the perfect fit. He got to Cinderella’s house and said ” can I try this shoe on you and anyone else in this house please?” the prince said sadly. ” yes ” her sisters said. Her sisters were first. They tried to squeeze it on but it did not work. The prince asked “is there anyone else?” Cinderella ran down the stairs to see who was there. The prince asked Cinderella could he try it on her. She agreed. Cinderella sat down and the prince tried it on her. “The perfect fit” he said. Soon the prince and Cinderella were married and all was well.

Cluiche Ceannais na h-Eireann.

Chuaigh muid go Dooceys chun an cliuche mór a fheiceáil. Bhí Maigheo in aghaidh Baile Átha Cliath. Bhí an-spórt againn i Dooceys. Bhuaigh Baile Átha Cliath an cluiche. Tá mé an-bhronach. Fuair Andy Moran cúl iontach do Mhaigheo ach fuair Bernard Brogan cúl do Bhaile Átha Cliath.

Níor mhaith liom an cluiche mar níor bhuaigh Maigh Eo an cluiche.

Waiting for Sam

Waiting for Sam
One word can describe how I feel about the match, excited! I am hoping Mayo will win the match. I wish I was going, the atmosphere would be great!

I think that Mayo will win the match, 2-9 to 1-8. If Mayo do win, Dublin won’t give up without a fight. Dublin seem to be favourites this year so it might be good for the Mayo team and Dublin might expect they will win and end up not properly playing.

As most people know we beat Dublin last year in the semi-finals. We also haven’t won since 1951, which is almost 63 years! I feel like this year is our year!

Go Mayo! By Amy

Waiting for Sam

Mayo and Dublin are in the All Ireland Final. We have been waiting for a few
weeks now until the match.

We’ve all been so supportive. The other day we had a Mayo day and everyone had
green and red everywhere.

Mayo haven’t won the Sam Maguire for 62 years now. People say that they are
cursed because the last time they won they started beeping outside a funeral. But
I don’t believe it.

Everyone is so excited. I can’t wait till Sunday.

Waiting for Sam

Mayo are in the All- Ireland final against Dublin on the 22-09-2013.

Mayo have a better team this year than any other year. They are more fit and plays better football. Aidan and Seamus O’Shea are playing better in midfield, and can get good scores.

Chris Barrett is in the panel and plays in half-backs. He scored two good points when they were playing Tyrone.

There’s rumours going around that Mayo are cursed. The last time Mayo won Sam in 1951 they passed a church, and they were beeping outside a church while a funeral was on.

I hope Mayo can win Sam Maguire and bring it back where it belongs.

By Niall

Waiting for Sam.

Mayo are in the All Ireland final this year again. I can’t wait until 22/9/13 because that is when Mayo are playing against Dublin.

Me and my family are going to the match because we got tickets. We hope they won’t give up and bring Sam back to Mayo.

It has been over 62 years since Mayo have won. I hope Mayo win this year and bring Sam to our school.

Chris Barrett is in half –back so we hope he scores again we could be in the lead against Dublin. I hope Andy Moran will lift the Sam McGuire.

Waiting For Sam
This Sunday Mayo are in the All Ireland final against the Dubs. Mayo have not won the Sam Maguire for 62 years. They got to the
final last year against Donegal but they lost. I went to the semi-final and they played really good. I really hope Mayo win. Up Mayo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

! Waiting For Sam !

This Sunday is the All- Ireland final Mayo vs. Dublin. I’m so excited. Mom and Dad have tickets already but we didn’t get any. We don’t know where we are staying yet, but we don’t care as long as Mayo win.

Mayo hadn’t won since 1951 so I think it would be awesome if we won. I’m so excited and hope that Mayo bring the Sam back home!!!

Waiting For Sam

I am so excited about the match on Sunday. I really really hope Mayo will win and bring Sam back to his real home.

I think it would be really good if Mayo won, because they have not won it since 1951.

I do not believe in ‘The Curse’ and I don’t think any of the Mayo team should either, and I hope they don’t give up and think that the curse is at them.

Hopefully Mayo will come home
with the Sam.

C’mon Mayo!

Waiting for Sam

By Róisín

Waiting for SAM
I feel very exited for the match next Sunday. I hope Mayo wins the match because they haven’t won since 1951 so it will be great if they win.

Dublin are very tough so it will be a tight match, but Mayo might just win.
Up Mayo!
