Evan's story

The Best Holiday

Me and my brother Connor and my mam and dad and Erin and Sarah went to Lanzarote on a Ryanair plane. Dara and Aoife stayed with my cousins.

We went for 7 days.

We lived in a hotel. We got to play on the go karts and then we swam in the pool.

We got to go to a water park.

My favourite ride was the roller coaster. It was too fast and my cheeks were shaking. It was so scary. My mam was laughing. We went on a smaller roller coaster and got whacked on the face by a branch.

I really liked Lanzarote. It is a very warm place. I wore shorts all day.

My dad came home first and then we came home.

growing the pea plants

growing the pea plants

We got pea seeds from the innocent grow and sow project. We planted some and gave the rest to Ms Bates' Senior Infants. We gave the cress seeds to Ms Murphy's Junior Infants.

First we planted the seeds in the cups

Then we watered the seeds and put them in the sun.

We watered the plants and kept them inside from the cold.

We planted them in our garden and water them every day.

Senior Infants planted their seeds

They planted them around a wigwam frame

They are growing bigger and bigger.

SPRING TIME

Yipee! Spring time has arrived at last.

Jonathon made some bird feeders so his class can watch the birds from their room

The Horse Chestnut leaves are starting to come out.

The Ash flowers are coming out too.

Dylan, Koby and Martin planted some herbs in the plot.

A poem and a story from Martin

THE CREATURE 

by Martin

The boy was not scared.

He hoped he would be spared.

Because there was no one to help him.

The creature was a bit dim.

The creature gave him a present.

It was a pet pheasant.

The boy felt relieved.

And called his new pet Eve

To the Rescue in Rush!

By Martin

28.1.13

Martin and Wictoria lived in Rush with their dad who worked as a coastguard. One summer’s day the children were helping their dad out and keeping an eye on what was going on out at sea. Martin was looking through his binoculars when suddenly he shouted, “Dad-I think a climber’s in trouble on the cliffs! I can see someone on a ledge halfway down. He’s waving his arms and shouting. He looks like he is struggling to stand up.” Dad took one look and said “this looks serious” and grabbed his phone from his pocket.

He phoned for some special coast guards. They came as fast as they could. It was a bit harder than they thought because his grip was loose. It took 3 minutes for the special coastguards to get ready, then…..they went down. They told the man not to move.

They took the rope with them to tie it over the man’s back. It took them 6 minutes to rescue the man. The man said that his name was Tom, and that he was there to watch the sea because he wanted to go fishing next day but then he slipped.

The special guards said that in a future when he going to watch the sea he must take better care.
