Craic as Gaeile.

We had some craic when we practiced saying "an bhuil cead agam dul leis/léi?" We love the song A Nóra bheag, and we enjoy Trup, trup a Chapaillín. Sometimes our teacher askes us "Cá rachaimid ar an capaillín ar maidin?" Sometimes our capaillín was tinn and we had to phone the vet. Sometimes the vet said "Tabhair deoch uisce dó".

Beo


As part of the Beo Local History project we visited Terryland graveyard in Castlelawn. We went with 5th class. It was a lovely sunny day. We all got to work in groups. Each group had some children from 2nd class and some children from 5th class in it. We learned a lot. We noticed that there was a stone wall all around the graveyard, but no church in sight! We counted the graves when we went into the grave yard. We found some really old graves. We said a prayer for all the people burried there. We had paper and crayons with us and we did some rubbings of old headstones. Ms. O'Byrne took a video of us working and Ms. Farrelly took photos. We saw some wild flowers in the grave yard too.

match attax.

There are these cards called match attax and, and you can play matches with them because they say the attack and defence ratings. The rarest card you can get is Steven Gerrard man of the match, his attack and defence is 101. You can get limited edition cards like Fernando Torres, he is really good. My best card is Wayne Rooney player of the month (october). My best card will be Nicolas Anelka man of the match on Chelsea. I have about 20 Man u players, and you can get match attax extra.

For all of June we get to wear our own clothes. Today we are going home at 12.30.
