Our trip to the beach

On Wednesday 21st March 2012
My classroom went to the beach with a Marine Biologist called Conor Ryan and our teacher Ms Connolly.

My favourite finds were
1. Mermaids purse: Dogfish lay these eggs. They are rectangular in shape with a string coming out of each side. They use these strings to wrap themselves around the seaweed (wrack). After a few weeks, baby dogfish pop out of the purse.
2. Limpet: When they are born, the are all male. After some months some turn into females. You will find them stuck to the rocks. If you kick them more than once, you will damage them and they won’t be able to stick back to their own rock. You must put them back on the same spot from where you took them off.
3.Bladder wrack is seaweed with small bubbles that you can burst. It must not be mistaken with serrated wrack which has large bubbles that you can not burst. The bladder wrack has slimy stuff at the top which people use to have seaweed baths.

This are just some of the things which we saw on our trip to the beach.I enjoyed this trip and found it very interesting. I am looking forward to tomorow because it is our next trip .

Turas go dtí an cladach~ A trip to the seashore

As we prepare for our trip to the seashore, we remember to keep ourselves safe at all times: to watch out for sharp rocks and broken glass and to keep our múinteoir in view at all times.

When we go for a walk outside our school gates, we have two golden rules:
Take nothing only photographs

and

leave nothing except foot prints.

Football Blitz

On Thursday 1st March the Inver National School boys Gaelic team took

part in a gaelic blitz in Tallagh. Our first game was against Ceathrú

Thaidgh. It was a brilliant game with the scores ending up 2-3 to both teams.

Everyone tried their best and did not give up! We were delighted with this result. Our second game was against Glencastle. Again everyone played together as a team and we beat them 6-3 to 1-0. We ended up having to play Ceathrú Thaidgh again and unfortunately they beat us this time.

We were delighted with the way we played on the day and celebrated by having a nice splash around in the pool afterwards!

Our girls gaelic team also did us proud today when they took part in the blitz. Our first game was against Bangor, a very tough team. We tried our best but unfortunately they had the beating of us, 4-2 to 1-2.

We shook their hands after the game.

Our second game was against Belmullet. It was a tight game all the way and it ended up finishing with a draw, 1-2 to both teams. Again we shook hands with the other team and left the pitch feeling very pleased with ourselves. Everyone gave it their best shot and a fun day was had by all. We are so proud of both teams!!!!

 

Both the boys team and the girls team played very well in their games.
