My First Holy Communion

On Sunday I did my First Holy Communion. We had lots of things to do before the big day. We had to do prayers and do lots of practices. Liam did it as well. My Mom’s friend came up and did my hair. When it was finished it was lovely. Then I put on my dress and Mom said I looked fantastic. When I went to the church, my teacher said I looked fabulous. After mass we took lots of pictures. Then we all went to the community centre and had lots of yummy sweets. After we went to Gateway and Liam went to the hotel. We had a great day.

Active Schools Week is one week where we do lots of games to keep active, and loads of activities.

We do lots of different things each day like soccer, rounders,circuits and basketball.

The benefits of Active Schools Week are being fit and active. Also we are trying to get our 2nd active flag. I am on the Active Schools Team.

I am really looking foward to the rest of the week. I love being active and healthy.

Active schools week is about being active. Today we did circuits and it was cool.

We played soccer and rounders yesterday and we played circuits and basketball today.

It is important to keep fit so you can have a healthy heart.

I also try to eat fruit instead of sweets and that would be another benefit to my health.

I love active week cant wait for next year when we do it I wonder what we will do next year. 🙂 :):)

Active Schools week is a week full of activities. We have lots of fun playing games.
On Monday we had a soccer blitz and a game of rounders. We lost the soccer. The score was 4-3 to Eoin’s team. The rounders was great! Nobody won becuase it was just for fun.

Today we played circuits. It was very good,there was weights, hula hoops, yoga matsand lots of other things.My favourite was the balance board.

We also played basketball today I was on team A. Ava, Caolan, Erin, Siobhan, Danny and I were on my team.

Tomorrow there is Unihoc and Orieteering I love Unihoc. It’s awesome! And orienteering is good but I can’t remember what to do in it.

Active schools week is important because it keeps you fit and healthy.

My Drama Exam

A few weeks ago I had a drama exam . I go to Fiona Burke’s School of Drama in the Broadhaven Bay Hotel on Thursday evenings.

For my exam I had to act out a piece from “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”, mime a piece from Goldilocks, read a piece of a book and say a poem . The poem was called ” The Runaway” and the book was called “Best Friends” by Jacquline Wilson.

I got 90% for acting (and a medal) and 87% for everything else.

I am really proud of myself , I can’t wait for next years class!
