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 END

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!!
