France 2-1 England
On Sunday last England played France in a thrilling Group B opener. England attacked from the start, England were rewarded a free which Beckham sweetly crossed for Frank Lampard who made no mistake in rattling the French net. Play was quiet until the 72nd minute when Rooney made a darting run through an open French defence, which resulted in a penalty. Beckham stepped up and hit a reasonable penalty which brought a classy save from Barthez. After 90 minutes England were cruising. On 91 France got a free outside the box. Zidane scored a goal that will go down in history. A draw looked the likely outcome but a Steven Gerrard error resulted in a penalty which Zidane coolly slotted home.
Our Trip to Clonea

We made sandcastles. We got buckets of water. We got drenched. We had lunch at Clonea. We sat around Clonea Hotel. We had towels. We waited for the busses to collect us. The bus brought us home. There were 2 busses. People found crabs and shells. Brian and robert found a big crab. When we got back to school we rang peoples mothers to get new clothes. We got water to make sandcastles. |

Lots of people made excellent sandcastles. We had a sand-castle-making competition. The infants came with us. Paul found a crab. David slipped on the rocks and he got his knees wet. We had to walk up to Clonea. It was a long walk, and we got very wet. People put on coats when it was raining. Some people didn't have coats. It was past big lunch when we got back. All of first, second and the infants went on the tour. We brought Mrs. Fennell. Liam was driving one of the buses. They were doing roadworks at the Golf Club, and we had to turn the bus around. We brought buckets and shovels. We found lots of seaweed. by First Class | |
The Test
It was a normal day and I went to school. But I never knew it was not a normal day. Today was the big day. But we got a test. I did not know what it was about. But then I knew. It was the big test. Karen was sick. She was a lucky duck. But when I was done we got the score. I was very happy. I got 30 out of 30 and I was glad that it was done.

The little monster
There was once a boy called Timothy Hogwash. With a name like Timothy he should have been a very nice little boy. But he wasn’t, he was horrible. He was lazy and naughty and never did anything his Mum told him.You should have seen his bedroom. His toys were all over the place,and his favourite games were to jump on them and break them. Then he’d howl and say "I want a new one".
