New School We will be building on to our school next year. The extension will be very big. There will be lots of builders and there will be scaffolding too. The builders will have a lot of work and there will probably be cranes, loaders, JCB's and tractors. There will be a huge roof and the builders will be laying blocks. They will be laying the floor aswell. There will be a lot of work going on and we hope it will be over in the summer. There will be a lot of people in the new school. They are building a new hall so if it is raining, we can do P.E in there. The wall in our classroom will be knocked down to make one big classroom. The new big school will be really good. Eamonn, Shane, Michael County Waterford
We have also decided to put a copy of this information in the "About Us" page of our website. Click here to look. Keypals in America
In October 2004, we received an invitation to link up with a school in America. The invitation arrived to us from an organisation called People to People International. The school is Spruce Elementary School, and it is in Seattle on the West Coast of America. Mr. de Burca's 1st and 2nd Class are working on several projects with Mrs. Walter's 2nd Grade. Here is an account of this venture from both sides of the Atlantic... 1st and 2nd class are "keypalling" with a class of children in America. Keypalling is like pen pals, but we communicate using the computer. This school is called Spruce elementary in Seattle, Washington, on the West coast of America. Here is an account we sent them about Science Week. Robert is in charge of this group, and Michelle helped us to get it typed... Last Tuesday the 8th of November we went to see a science show during Science Week. We went down to Waterford City on a mini bus and it was really packed. We were there at half past 10. We went to see a show about bubbles. All the lights were turned off so we could see the bubbles. The men doing the show asked a boy to stand in a circle and then he put a big bubble over him and he was inside the bubble. Their names were Mark and Barney. We had to blow a big bubble to see when it would pop. Mark and Barney put a teacher in a bubble and that was really funny. The bubbles are made from liquid and water and glycerol. It was really good fun and we want to go again next year. We had our lunch outside on the bench after the show and then we came back to school at half past 12. It was a really fun day. Robert, Sarah-Jane, Emily Here's a short intro about us...

She likes to eat crisps and dog food. Stacie is a sheep collie. She is black and white. She’s really strong. By LUKE |

How did dinosaurs pass exams? With extinction. Why is the school football field always wet? Because the boys are always dribbling When is a blue book not a blue book? When it is read. Why are cooks mean? Because they beat the eggs and whip the cream When is an English teacher like a judge? When he gives out sentences.

My Pet I have a little pony
And
Bob is his name.
I
feed him lots of carrots
And
brush his fluffy mane.
When
he sees me He runs up to the gate.
He
is white all over
And
he is my best mate.
He
likes to run and jump around
And
gallop very fast.
Sometimes
he goes up to the trees
And
goes zooming past.
Bob
is my favourite pony
In
a very special way.
The
day we brought him home
Was
a very nice day.

HALLOWEEN Witches flying in the air, With tangled long black dirty hair, Evil cats sit on the broom, Howling at the big full moon, In the village down below, The sound of the children's voice grow, In the street they like to meet, And off they go to trick or treat, But the witches have a plan, To catch some children if they can, Into the cauldron bubbling hot, In they go plop, plop, plop, The witches made a big mistake, When three tough boys They try to take, And banished them to a zombie tomb. Rae Anne |
