Swimming
In December we all got
a letter to know if we
wanted to go swimming. Most of
us wanted to go.On our first
Wednesday a bus came to collect us.We
were all very excited. We were
going to Mount St. Josephs in Roscrea.
We had four teachers. Their names
were Yvonne, Seamus, Tom and Nick.
Tom was teaching the girls. Seamus
was teaching the boys. Yvonne
was teaching the improvers. .In swimming
we all learned how to swim.
On
our last week we all got
a certificate and it showed our
names on it. That was the
end of our eight
weeks. And we all had an
excellent time.

Seachtain na Gaeilge
I rith Seachtain na Gaeilge bhí tráth na gceist
againn i halla na scoile.Bhí ceathrar ar gach
foireann agus bhí deich
foireann-páistí ó rang a trí, a ceathair, a
cúig agus a sé.Bhí daichead
ceist ann ar fad.Bhronn an príomhoida punt ar na buaiteoiri uile.
Bhaineamar an taitneamh as an ócáid agus thug sé deis
dúinn an Ghaeilge a úsáid taobh
amuigh den rang. Cé go raibh sé i nGailge cheap gach duine
go raibh an ócáid fiúntach agus
torthúil.
