The Stolen Money

One day, Sara and Lucy were playing in the park. It was a very sunny day and they were having a picnic. Suddenly, they could hear the sound of footsteps. They turned around and saw a mysterious looking man. In his hand a large bag that was bulging with money. He was looking cautiously around him to see if anyone could see what he was doing. Then, he quickly shoved the bag under an evergreen bush and crept away. When he was gone Lucy and Sara went up to the bush and checked the bag. Before they could fully open it,money came pouring out. They guessed it was stolen and brought it straight to the Garda Station. The Garda checked the cereal number and said it was stolen for a long time. They also said that the man was a robber everyone wanted to catch.They gave the girls a reward of €100 each and thanked them for finding the money.

THE OCTOPUS By Katelyn M

            All octopuses have a head called a mantle surrounded by 8 arms called tentacles. All vital organs are located in their head. Their colour and size are determined by their environment. Those that live in colder water are much larger then those that live in warm tropical water. The beak is the only structure in its body. Its beak is like a parrot beak. They use it for eating. An octopus has three hearts.

The Christmas play

At our Christmas play all the classes put on a lovely show. It was really fun. We did the true story of the three little pigs. It was about a wolf trying to get sugar for his Granny's birthday cake. We sang walking in a winter wonder land. We read a nice poem. Finally we sang we wish you a merry Christmas. The End!

The Whooper Swan

The Whooper swan was at Rhinn bridge for a few days. The whooper swan was really sick. It flew into a electricity pole and it's neck was bent down.The rescue people came down my field with the whooper swan.He said the swan was very hungry and it is really small for a whooper swan. If they didn't rescue the whooper swan it would have died.We are so glad that the swan is rescued.

This is an example of what a whooper swan looks like.

GYMNASTICS

2nd class had a lesson in gymnastics last month in February. The team that came was called The Cougars.We brought in 2 euro in to fundraise for their trip to America for a cheerleading competition. There were 3 stations:          

  1  : there was a boulder, it is a big roller thing that we rested our stomach on 

                    it and  it rocked back and forth on it.                    

 2 : there was a beam , a long  step and we did loads of different jumps off it.

 3:  there was a roll mat , a triangle -shaped  mat that we tumbled on.

We all had a great day!!

The Bug Hotel

The bug hotel is a home for many bugs and insects 

It is really cool because you get to see lots of bugs there.

We made the bug hotel out of logs for the green schools committee.

We went on the 3/2/14  in 2nd class.

When we went to the bug hotel we saw lots of bugs. There were worms, snails, slugs, centipedes and flies. They were in the bug hotel.It is made of wood. It keeps the bugs warm and the bugs love it. It is a great place for the bugs and they are warm.

2nd class went on a trip to the bug hotel. Although it was damaged from the rain, we still saw lots of insects.A giant earthworm about 11cm long was hiding between the logs. We saw a centipede was in the bark. We also saw the tiniest spider with a tiny web. There was even a slug sliding down a rock. Ms. Cooney took lots of pictures of them.

Our  school  has a bug hotel .There is a lot of fascinating creepy crawlies like earthworms ,woodlouse 

and  spiders. Our  bug  hotel  is made out of  old logs and  pieces 

of  bark  piled  together  so  there is loads of tunnels  for  them  to hide in.
