Today we started to learn how to play rugby. It was a little bit hard for some people but it was easy enough for me. First we played stuck in the mud for warm up. The games were very fast played because the chasers were very very fast. After we learnt how to catch the ball with the w shape. Your hands wrap around the ball when it touches them. It’s like a magnet. The guys names were Paul,Aiden and James. They were very nice to us. We were tired after so we played tired soldiers. You lie down and don’t move or you’re out.It was fun. John Anthony won he was keeping very very still. We played catching the ball after. They are coming for another few weeks. I am looking forward to seeing them again and learning new skills.

Then I saw blackberries . I enjoyed the walk.

I heard a bird in the tree.
We looked at autumn leaves.
I saw a strange bug on the wall.
We saw a bush of blackberries on our walk.

Cinderella
Once upon a time the was a girl called Cinderella. She lived in a house with her mother sisters and dad. She had to do all of the housework and her step sisters did not have to do anything. Cinderella never went anywhere with her sisters. But one day Cinderella was reading the post and one letter said.”Wanted! wife for prince. A ball for everyone at 8 o clock” Cinderella called her sisters. ” I’m going ” no I’m going ” they said together . ” Can I come ? Cinderella asked. “NO” their sisters shouted. It was the time for her sisters to go to the ball ” Haha Cinderella is not coming ” her sisters whispered. Cinderella started to cry and her fairy godmother appeared ” Who are you?” she sad sadly ” your fairy godmother. I am here to help why are you crying?” she cried ” well my sisters said I can’t go to this ball that they are going to and anyway I have nothing ready I wish I had a horse and carriage and a wonderful new dress” she sadly said ” ok get me a 2 mouses a pumpkin and I can make them into whatever you wish” she said confidently Cinderella quickly ran to get everything . ” But Cinderella be back by midnight” Cinderella got to the ball. The prince took one look at Cinderella and suddenly asked her to dance . The time went quickly for Cinderella it was 5 mins to 12’o clock. Cinderella quickly ran out of the ballroom and her shoe fell off. The prince picked up the glass slipper Cinderella left after her. The clock struck 12 and Cinderella had to walk home. The next day the prince went to every house in the land trying to find the perfect fit. He got to Cinderella’s house and said ” can I try this shoe on you and anyone else in this house please?” the prince said sadly. ” yes ” her sisters said. Her sisters were first. They tried to squeeze it on but it did not work. The prince asked “is there anyone else?” Cinderella ran down the stairs to see who was there. The prince asked Cinderella could he try it on her. She agreed. Cinderella sat down and the prince tried it on her. “The perfect fit” he said. Soon the prince and Cinderella were married and all was well.

Self Portraits – Can you guess who? on PhotoPeach
A man called Derek came to our school talking about a Twite. A Twite is a type of bird that is nearly extinct. It lives in Mayo and Donegal and some other parts of the world .They make nests in the heather on mountains so nobody can hurt them. The man put rings on their feet so he will recognise the bird . They have brown legs and you have to hold them a special way. The man that came showed us some of the plants that Twites feed on like Sorrel,Forget me not,meadow buttercups,plantain,bird foot trefoil and much more flowers and plants. The mother and father collect the bird poo and drop it on the ground. The man took us outside and planted seeds in our garden. When they grow the Twites might give us a visit. Siobhán and Liam

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.
