Oíche Shamhna an bhlian seo caite!

Chuaigh mé ag imirt bob nó bia le mo cholceathar. Bhí mé gléasta suas mar Nanny Mc Phee! An lá sin, d’íarr Mamaí liom móin a fháil. Nuair a chuaigh mé amach sa chlós, chuala mé duine ag béicíl. Nuair a d’fhéach mé suas ar an díon, bhí mo Dhaidí ar an díon gléasta suas mar phúca agus bhí masc ar a cheann! “Ó a dhaidí!” a bhéic mé. Bhí scanradh an domhain orm! Tháinig mo chlann amach agus thóg siad pictuirí dó!

Bhí muid gleasta mar cúpla scanrúil (scary twins). Bhuaigh mé féin agus Ava an duais don culaith is fearr. Bhí muid ag imirt cluichí agis ag tumadh d’úlla agus airgead. D’ith me a lán milseain.

Back-seat Kids

We have been reading Back Seat Kids by Terry McDonagh and we love it. Terry visited our school in June and we took a video of him reading some of his poems. This is
Back Seat Kids

BACK-SEAT KIDS
The back seats in our classroom are scratched, written on
and the legs are loose.
Front seats can never be back seats
and back seats can never be front seats –
they just can’t.
Back-seat kids are kept in more often. They wear baseball caps sideways, try to be cool and stick chewing gum under seats.
They spend a lot of time outside Mr Principal’s door waiting to be called in
for throwing a schoolbag over the fence,
a small child’s lunch
down the toilet, or
spilling paint in the art room.
But:
school back seats, cinema back seats, or bus back seats – all back seats
fill up first
because back seats are back seats
and the action is at the back
in the back seats yeh!
We are the back-seat boys,
back-seat people
in back seats.
Back seats are
cool!
The best seats
are back seats
for back-seat kids and kids from the back seats. Yeh!

An Gleoiseach Sleibhe – The Twite (Step 1: Environmental Awareness and Care)

Visit from Susan
Today a lady called Susan came to our school to teach us about the twite. First she showed us a couple of pictures of the twite and some other birds. Seamus,John,Liam and I were ‘Speicies Management Team’ so we picked different people for different jobs.
Then we went outside and made a Quatrat with some rope and we took down the names of the flowers and plantes on it. Amy, April, Amy and Orla were bird watchers and looked out for birds then Amy would take there names down.

Next we went inside to do art but first we had lunch. Seamus, Liam and I did a picture with a cliff and heather with twite eating seeds from hay bales.
When we finished we cleaned up and Susan went to Glenamoy. It was fun.

Susan’s Visit

Today a lady called Susan came to our school to talk about a bird called “The Twite.” It was very interesting.
First we put the chairs in a circle, and we decided who was going to be on team management. It was Liam, John, Seamus and Kian on the team. They picked Lisa and I take take pictures & notes of all the plants! Some others for the plot sheet and Amy wrote down the names of all the birds we saw, and April Ava and Orla had binoculars.
Then we set up the plot outside called a quadrat and we measured a metre and tied a knot at each corner. We counted all the flower heads and grasses.
After that we went inside and did some art, using different materials. Our art had to have the twite in it. I did the sea and cliffs with the twite on cliff. Everyone’s art was great.

I really enjoyed my day and can’t wait for Susan’s next twites!

FYI- Mayo is twite capital. 🙂 🙂
