Emily Carr

Lately, our class has been learning about Native American Indians.
We have just finished looking at a Canadian artist called EMILY CARR.
She was around years ago and she loved painting totem poles and other
things to do with Native Americans.
We really liked her work, so we tried it out for ourselves!!

Class Trip

Today we decided to take a stroll in Fairview Park.
It was a beautiful day and the class had been working so hard lately, we felt they deserved a nice trip.We had a picnic in the park and fed some of the seagulls and ducks. They went crazy!

We saw herons, swans, magpies and mallards.Everyone had a lovely day and we managed to get most of the mud off our shoes before coming back to the classroom!

Scared

One day, my sister was playing in her room when she saw a spider.

She got a big scare and shouted "Leon! Leon!"

So I ran in and said "What are you shouting for?"

She cried, "I've seen a bug!"

I answered, "It's a fly, not a bug or a spider, silly! Leave it alone and it can't hurt you."

New Year's Resolutions!

Over the past week, we learned about New Year's Resolutions. We made some of our own resolutions. These are promises we make to ourselves to try and become better people. They have to be REALISTIC and ACHIEVABLE.

For example, Cameron has decided to cut down on Coke and David is going to ease off chocolate. Conor is going to excercise more and Tyrek has decided to practice soccer harder. I'm going to give up on slaggin my sister because it's not nice to slag.

By the end of the year, we will all be better people. Especially me.

The River Race

Once upon a time, I was in school. My teacher said to me that the class was going kayaking tomorrow and I was really excited. When I went home I told my mum. She said "are you excited?" I said "yes! very excited".

After a while I asked my mum would she get my shoes for the morning. I got dressed to go to school. When I got to school, everyone was talking about kayaking. Eventually, it was time to go on the bus. When I got on, I discovered that we were kayaking in Howth - this was a surprise!

When we arrived, each of us got a kayak. We were having great fun. I was splashing in the water with my friends.

Then suddenly, my teacher said we were all going down to a small river. So we got out and headed down to the source of the river where we were going to have a river race. Soon, it was my turn and I was playing my friend John. I started off and went my fastest... I won!! I had a fantastic feeling.

The next day my mum said we are going on holiday for my birthday next month .I could not wait.

The next month flew by and it was just a day to go. I was playing games all day.When I went to bed I had an awful dream but when I woke up I was really excited!

I got dressed and we drove to the airport, then we got on an airplane. When we arrived at the hotel, the first thing I did was go down to the pool. I had the best time of my life on holiday!
