Halloween Thaumatropes by DamienTh

We made Halloween Thaumatropes. They work because our brains mix up the 2 sides of the disc because they are moving too fast!

Haunted Castle by Evan

There is a old castle near our street that is supposed to be haunted. One night my three friends and I decided to investigate. We went to the castle and we saw two skeleton guards at the door. We couldn't get past them. So we decided to go through the back door. But the back door was locked so we decided to break the door down. There were more doors inside and they were all open. They led us all the way to the witch. She had a bottle. She made all of us have a drink. We all died.

Halloween Hooligans!!!

My Cousin Went Bonkers by Josh

Leaves are falling out of a tree.

While I am in having a wee.

I went out and found conkers.

Then my cousin went bonkers.

It started to rain.

And my cousin fell down a drain.

I saw some nuts.

And I fell and got some cuts.

My sister wouldn't give me popcorn.

So I made her eat an acorn.

She told my mam.

So I covered her with jam.

Trip to Liverpool By Mason

This picture was taken in 2001. When I was 2 I lived in Liverpool with my Mam and Dad in a house. My dad would bring me to the park. Sometimes we would go swimming. My dad worked in a school as a caretaker. He would bring out the hurls and the balls. He also did odd jobs around the school. He told me that he used to play football with some of the kids in the school. He loved working there. Then one day when my dad came home from work my mum asked him could we come home to see my nanny and Grandad. He said ok. We came home in the Summer and we did not go back. After that we got a house and we moved in. It was the best house we ever had.

This is a photo of me and my mammy. It was taken at the beach in Co Dublin. My dad took the photo. It was in march 2005. Me and my mammy picked lots of sea shells. We also picked some marble stones. We had a great time. We got a bucket and collected some crabs and we had lots of fun playing with the crabs. My mammy was afraid. My dad chased her around the beach. It was fun until my dad slipped and kicked the bucket over. The crabs ran everywhere. It was one of the best days I had.

The Magic Fairy

Once upon a time, there was a woman that really wanted to get married. There was one problem: she was too poor. Then, a few days later, a magic fairy appeared and said to the woman "I will grant you one wish". The woman wished that she had enough money for the wedding and the reception.


"Absolutley!" said the fairy.


That December, she had a lovely wedding.

The End.

At The Desert's Edge

This week we have been learning about the Presentation Brothers in Ghana. We watched a DVD Called ‘At Desert’s Edge’. It shows the educational system in Ghana. We learned that the children of Ghana have to walk 8 miles to get to school.

It takes them two and a half hours to get to school and it only takes us 5 minutes to get to school. They wear uniforms like us. They were uniforms because they have no proper clothes. We were uniforms so we don’t go missing or feel left out.

They get fed three times a week. We bring in our own lunch. They do all the same subjects we do. They do English, History, Religion and Maths.

Dear Diary,

Today I woke up at half five because I had to walk 8 miles.I had to step over stones.Our teacher's name is Br. Bernard.When I got home I had to do chores and plant seeds.The next day we learned how to spell hello in French.

After school we got rice and stew.I can't wait for next year because I will have new friends a new football and a new yard. All of my village is poor but we work together to get more money and more clothes. My friend, Joe, lives down the road. He goes to a different school and he lives a tough life because he gets bullied. By Kian McD

Royal Wedding

The day that the Royal Wedding was on, Prince William and Kate Middleton were getting married. It was October and my favourite movie was on so I grabbed the remote and tuned in to my favourite movie. My ma said "Hey! I wanted to watch that!".

Arsenal's Greatest: Transferred!

There is this team called Arsenal, which became a noticed team in 1945 during the end of World War II. In 1955 Arsenal bought their best ever tranfer player, Liam Brady.

He was allowed join on a free deal from Southampton. On July 1992, Arsenal bought a young Dutchman called Denis Bergkamp. He was from Amsterdam and was bought from AJAX.

In 2004, Arsenal bought a Spanish magician called Cesc Fabregas, he came from Barcelona. I think Arsenal are the best team in the world... way better than United. Don't you agree????

Tasty 3D Shapes!

Our class has been looking at 3D Shapes.

3D Shapes have three things: vertices, faces and edges.

We decided to make our own shapes using marshmallows (vertices) and cocktail sticks (edges).

We think we might become architects after this lesson!!
We made shapesd such as cubes, square-based pyramids, triangle-based pryamids and traingluar prisms. It was so much fun!

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!
