Catholic Schools Week on Tellagami
Amy uses Tellagami to explain what Catholic Schools week is about:
Tellagami and the Green Team
Kian has been working with Tellagami to explain how our Green Schools team was selected:
Active Team
n our school we have have an active team. An active team is basically pupils of our school that form a team to encourage everyone to be active.
How they get on the team, you’er thinking? Well everyone that wants to be on the active team makes a small presentation on why they would be the perfect person to be on it.
I had some tough competition this year because everyone in our school is so talented!!! When everyone had their presentations presented, we all had to vote. The best thing is that you can vote for yourself!!! I guess you’re thinking if everyone could vote for themselves, it would all be a draw. Actually people that did not want to be on it would vote for somebody else 😃.
This year the people that got the most votes were Orla, Ailish, Liam, Eve, Hannah, Siobhan and myself. I was delighted that I would be part of the team. We’re now in the process of making lots of different games for our new playground and are keeping up with trying to make our school even more active!!
The End
From Sophie’s Blog
If you want to be on our Active Team you have to………….. Prove to everyone that you are active and have lots of great ideas!
We all make a presentation about ‘How to be active’, ‘How I am active’ and also ‘How to be healthy’!! You must show that you are committed and a good person to have on the team!
I told everyone what extra curricular I did outside school, and that I’m a fit and healthy girl!! Everyone gave really good presentations this year! Once everyone was done and had presented their presentations, we voted! This year Orla, Siobhán , Eve, Hannah, Sophie, Liam & I, got on the active team, because we proved that we are active and the right people to have on the team!!!!
What we do: – We have a meeting every so often to see if everything at break is ok, and if we need to change any games we’ll try to. – Clear the yard after break. – We make up games for the printed playground And that’s how you get on the Inver “ACTIVE TEAM!”
We decided to be an Active schools this year. Every one who wanted to be on the active schools team did a slide show on their iPads to show why they should be on active team. When they finished we put it on the big board.
We each voted. We got a piece of paper and wrote who did the best slideshow.
Now the people who got on the active schools team organise a fair way to play at break and set up active activities.

Mo leabhar bia
Rinne muid ár leabhair bia an seachtain seo. Scríobh muid síos an saghas bia is maith/ní maith linn.
Well done Eve and Lucy
A big well done to Eve who took part in an 800m race and also to Lucy who took part in a 400m race in Dublin at the weekend. Both girls were two of the youngest in their age categories
An Pirimid Bia
We have been learning all about the food pyramid recently. We now know which foods are healthy and unhealthy for our bodies and how many servings of each food group we should be eating every day. To help us remember, we’ve put together our own food pyramid display in our classroom.
Extracts from our personal blogs
Everyone in the senior classroom has a personal blog at http://kidblog.org/Ranganna345agus6/. Sometimes we write articles for school there, and sometimes we write our own thoughts.
Here are some examples of our newest thoughts:
My Dog Reba
I had a dog named Reba which I loved and cherished most
but now that she’s not here any more
I feel a
little lost.
I wish that I could see her right in front of my eyes,
But of course I just can’t
because that’s life.
If I had a little wish
I know what I’d just do,
I’d love to see my little Reeba running
straight to me and you.
Minecraft
Minecraft is a really cool building game you can buy off the iTunes App Store. In the game you have lots of different types of blocks and you can build anything you ever want on it. Some of the types of blocks that you have are TNT, Diamond, Dirt, Ice, Lava and Brick. But that is only a few types of blocks you can use, really, there are LOADS!
You can even put the likes of animals and villagers in your world!
I am only new to minecraft so I haven’t made all that much, yet! The only thing I have made is a bit like a mini New York. I made the Empire State building, the Statue of Liberty, the Subway and a few other buildings! I really like it, even though it didn’t turn out as good as I had planned.
My favourite block on minecraft is TNT because I honestly think it’s really cool the way you can blow up some of the blocks with it! I really like minecraft but yet I find that after a while of playing it you get kinda bored of it and you come back to it later.
Minecraft is really awesome and it’s cool that you can make whatever you like on it!

What’s left in Pompeii
Pompeii was an Ancient city in Southern Italy. People actually forgot about Pompeii because it laid beneath the ground where Mt. Vesuvius erupted! Mt. Vesuvius erupted in 79AD, but the people of Pompeii didn’t know Vesuvius was a volcano, as it hadn’t erupted in 1,800 years. Today Mt. Vesuvius is one of the most dangerous mountains ever, because it could still erupt at any time!!!!!!
Mt. Vesuvius 😄
Pompeii is now a major tourist attraction, and over two million people visit it every year.

Letter from Millie to Bertie (The Butterfly Lion Book)
I am at the war now. I have made some friends. Sadly, some nice people died and I am quite scared.
I have seen a poster that has a Le prince Blanc (The white prince ) on it… my white lion!
I am overjoyed with happiness!!
I can’t go and I’m not sure if I should or not?
I cannot write any more..
Im sorry.
I’ll try to visit any chance I get.
I will I promise,
Lots Of My Love! Bertie…..
Nuacht ón deireadh seachtaine
Ar an Satharn chuaigh me feín agus mó Mhamaí agus mo beirt deirfiúracha Hayleigh agus Erin go dtí Beal An Muithead. Fuair muid griangráf do mo phás. Ansin, chuaigh múid go dtí an Builín Basta. D’ith mé anraith. Bhí sé go h-álainn.
Ar an Domhnach, chuaigh me go dtí teach mó mhamó. D’fheach múid ar ‘The Voice Of Ireland’. D’ith mé arán triacla mo mhamó. Is brea liom arán triacla. D’ol muid cupán tae. Bhi Nicola Lynch ar ‘The Voice Of Ireland’. Bhi sí an canadh.

Ar an Aoine chuaigh mé go dtí Béal an Átha mar bhí mo dheirfiúr ag teacht abhaile ó Baile Átha Cliath. Ar an Satharn, chonaic mé “Beauty and the Beast” mar cheannaigh mé an scannán ar DVD cúpla seachtaine ó shin agus ní fhaca mé é nuair a fuair mé é. Ar Dé Domhnaigh chuaigh mé ar Aifreann í nGleann Chaisil.
