Up Mayo!

Mayo will be playing Donegal in the Sam MaGuire final in a week. Mayo didn’t win an all Ireland since 1951. We hope they win we have hopes for them. Me and Padraig are praying for them. Me and Padraigs favourite player is Alan Dillion he’s the captain as well. They worked hard all the way to the final. UP MAYO!!

Look at the great Mayo men we made today. We think they might scare Donegal away!

The Thing


This morning when I came into school there was a fat blob that looked like an alien sitting in class. He was very shy, I asked him his name and he said it was “Shawacka Laka Boom Boom and I come from Timbuktu’. When class started, the blob sat down next to Seamus and the minute Seamus saw him he went red with laughter. The blob was a bit of a nutter because when the teacher walked in he ran out to the yard singing “I love fish sticks!” We calmed him down and when we did we asked him how old he was. After a while he did tell us how old he was “I’m 50,000,000 years young!” he said.
At breaktime the blob went round making rude noises in people’s faces. And then after awhile he went into the school and kicked the staffroom door down, he ate all the biscuits and drank all the tea.

After that the teacher threw him out and he never came back!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On Monday a little green monster came to our school.
At first everybody was scared and we ran into the yard. He was kind of friendly.He came from Mars and they age like dogs.Right now he is 44 years old, but in dogs years he is 301.
He likes all the things I like.I think he’d be a good pet.

He can do a lot of tricks like a mini magician.We call him Hundi.

Learning Circle Project 2012

The students in Inver National School have just completed a Learning Circles project.
Our partner schools were in New Brunswick in Canada, New Jersey and Washington in the USA, in Tartarstan in Russia and in Katmandu, Nepal. We did a project about places and perspectives with them.

Project Publication

Our project was called ‘Outside the school gates’ and we wanted to compare what we see outside our school with what our partners see when they go outside their schools.

This is what we found and you may follow the links to compare the areas:

Inver National School, Ireland
University Prep, Seattle, WA, USA
Woodstock Middle School, Woodstock, New Brunswick, Canada

What’s in the news?
The flu outbreak at Nazareth House nursing home in Buncrana Co. Donegal has been declared over by the health service.
Seven elderly residents at the Co. Donegal home died, as a result of the outbreak. I feel sad that so many elderly died from the same nursing home.

A new survey outlines the financial hardships householders are facing on a daily basis.
The study by the Irish League of Credit Unions shows the disposable income of thousands householders remains under severe pressure.
Almost half of the people that were served said they are left with €100 or less at the end of the month after paying essential bills. I feel that people are just working to pay bills and to feed themselves.

Mayo were playing Kerry on Sunday in our Gaelic Football League semi final. Mayo won the score was 1:17 to 2:15. It was an outstanding game. Mayo played class, Connor Mortimer scored 5 points in a row and they were the first points that Mayo got. I hope that Mayo win the cup. I think that Mayo played outstanding and that they deserve to win the League       (by Eoin)
