The FAI Leinster Schools' U10 Indoor Final

Last Tuesday morning we got on Terry's bus out to the National Basketball Arena. We were on the first match and only had five minutes to get ready. We were playing against a Wicklow team. While we were playing Evan scored a goal and played the rest of the match. The score was one nil to us. Then we had to wait one hour till are next match . When that match was up we all ran down the stair's and the starting five went on ,and the subs sat on the bench . We were playing St. Joseph's boys from county Kilkenny. Evan and Brando scored in that game. When that match was over the score came to (two nil to us) we were waiting for an hour and fifteen minutes to the next match. We were playing with Evan right back, Brandon left back, Dylan in the middle,

Connor up front and Johnny in goal. We won in that match. After the game we had our lunch and the sir gave us oranges. Then we waited forty minutes for the next match. When we played the next game Dylan scored two, Connor scored one and Evan scored one. We all went the toilets because we were bursting. Then when we played the final we got bet two nil. We were all sulking however we were not crying, because crying is for babies. By Tyler

A big thanks to Barry and Thomas who took this team all the way in the FAI primary schools U10 Indoor Soccer 5-a-side competition. A big thanks also to all the boys' parents, football clubs and coaches. The standard of football played by the lads in the North Dublin section, Dublin finals and Leinster finals was really excellent for small men! Many thanks also to Christy Lockheed and all the other FAI coaches who organised this super competition. Our congratulations to Pope John Paul II National School, Malahide who won the competition, beating us 2-0 in the final. My greatest praise is reserved for the twelve Larriers - strong and proud - who made up this 5-a-side squad. You guys went three competitions and a total of twelve games undefeated in this tournament, not even conceding a goal in the rounds matches of the Leinster play offs. That is awesome and you guys played some beautiful football on the way. You ran out of gas in your last match, unlucky match number 13!!

Yiz are Larriers legends already! We are all very proud of you. By Mark

Valentine's Poems

To celebrate Valentine's Day the boys have been writing love poems and what they believe love means. Here are a few of the boy's poems.

You are so fine you are my beautiful valentine,
You make me laugh my heart stops,
You make me laugh my legs hop,
You make me drop.
by Dean M

I love you
It is true
Your my valentine
For ever it will be
Us kissing in a tree
I will get on my knee
And say it will be..
by Jake


Oh hunny
You are my bunny
You made me money
But most of all
You are my hunny

The Strange Princess

Once apon a time a princess was going through the garden with all the flowers . She looked at the clock and it was time to pick apples from the apple tree . She picked an apple and looked at it close with a magnifinglass . That night she left the apple on her table. By magic it blew into flames and the princes got out just in time . Then she woke up, she thought it was just a dream but she looked on her table and the apple was still there . She got up and threw the apple away. She never heard of it again and she chopped the tree down.

Chinese New Year Celebrations

In celebration of Chinese New Year the boys went on a trip to the library to create kites. The boys listened to the history of Chinese New Year and learned a lot about China.

I really like making kites, it is a lot of fun.

I had a good time and learned a lot there.

Conor

It is very easy once you concentrate

on making them and now I know how to make a kite.

Brandon

The man who was learning us he was very funny.

I like making kites, after I showed my brother how to make one.

If We Met Jack Frost........

The Pupils in our class wrote creative stories about meeting Jack Frost. Read our creative stories below.

Leroy
One day I was walking down the street. I saw a blue man and it was Jack Frost. I said hello . He said hello back. I asked him "Do you want to go to the pictures to see Yes Man" .
We went to see it. It was gas. So after that we went to Funderland. We went on every ride. They were fantasic. Then we went back to my place and played some games. Then Jack had to go. I said bye Jack, KEEP COOL ...

Brandon
"Hello Jack Frost. How is the weather like up there because it is freezing down here. Come on and we will go to Noctors for a few points of Guinness and then we will go to Chartbusters for a few minutes of sunbeds". Then we will get a few films to watch in my house. We got Hot Fuzz, Norbet, Longest Yard, Mean Machine and Green Street. So when we got home my ma was in bed so I stuck on the films and me and Jack lied on the chairs and watched all of the films until we fell asleep.

The Weather....

Everyone wants to know what the weather will be like. The pupils in our room are learning about different types of weather. There are many ways to find out about the weather. We have learned that you can listen to the weather forecast by listening to the radio, by watching TV and most of all by looking up at the sky.
