I wonder what stories they will have to tell us ? ……..
The Sun
The sun is like a ball of fire
Frozen in the sky
The sun is like yellow paint
Spilt by a passer by
The sun is like a glowing ball
Whizzing out of sight
The sun is like a lightbulb
That God turns off at night
Shauna and Brenda ( 5th Class Ms Mc Mahon)
The Stars
Stars are like diamonds
So precious to hold
Stars are like sparkling
Specks of something gold
Stars are like little people
dancing around the night sky
Stars are like immortal dreams
They will never die
By Sophie (5th Class Ms Mc Mahon )
The Stars
Stars are like glittering sparkles
That light up the midnight sky
Children stand outside and watch
The shining stars fly by
Stars are like lights
shining above the earth
Stars are like bright sparks
burning in the cosy hearth
By Eneasa, Caitlin, Carla, Kate, Mark and Chinedu(Ms. Mc Mahon 5th Class)
The Sun
The Sun is like bright
Colours burning in the sky
The Sun is like a giant
Firing Flame floating by
The Sun is like a cluster
Of stars drifting through the air
The Sun is like a glowing
Globe that twinkles through the ‘speir’
By Amber Saoirse and Raymond ( 5th Class Ms Mc Mahon)
The Stars
The stars are like little angels
Dancing in the sky
Around the planet of earth
While they sing a lullaby
The stars are like shining diamonds
That guide us on our way
To the heavenly angel
That makes us play and pray
By EMMANUEL RABIU, JESSIE HEALY and ANA –DANIELLE ( 5th Class Ms Mc Mahon )
The Sun
The sun is like a volcano
That keeps the world alive
The sun is like a radiator
That always flies by
The sun is like a diamond
That follows the sky
By Keith Denis and Luigi
The Stars
The stars are shining brightly
Like diamonds in the sky
The stars are like children playing
While the sun is passing by
The stars are like droplets
Falling from the sky
The stars are like glitter
That has been put there in the sky
Victoria, Aaron and Ronan ( Ms Mc Mahons 5th Class )
The Stars
The stars are like stairs that climb
Gently up to the moon
The stars are like light bulbs
That will be turning off soon
Ellie, Avril, Dearden, Jake and Joshua ( Ms Mc Mahons 5th Class )
On Weds 27th February we went to the library to an engineering workshop. This week is Engineering Week. Ross Maguire spoke about engineering all around us. He put us into groups of 5 and gave us a task of making ‘Lego’ car launchers. There were two parts to build. One was the car and the other was the launcher. We followed the instructions and built our launchers. It was fun to do. These are our photos.
Today we learnt about Fairtrade. We learnt about how it helps ‘Third World Countries’.
Fairtrade is when farmers get a fair amount of money for the produce they farm.
Examples of food that can be purchased under the Fairtrade Mark are; bananas, sugar
coffee beans, cocoa, nut,s tea and chocolate.
Our class were given a project brief to plan a trip to a country of our choice. We worked in groups and had to book flights, choose restaurants and accommodation, plan an itinerary and find transport. We had to plan a trip of six days duration on a budget of 800 euro per person ( excluding flights ! ). This project was fun, we really enjoyed it and it made us feel really like adults!!!
