The
Robber One night everyone was asleep, I heard a noise, a creak. It was getting louder and louder. But then I heard another noise it was a “BANG”! Soon I heard some footsteps, I got very scared so I ran into my mam. She said to go back to bed. But I went down to see what it was. I said to myself it’s a robber. I ran and told my mam and she killed him. Karen
Salmon The salmon spends
most of its life in the sea, but it lays its eggs in the upper parts of the
rivers. Its journey up the river from the sea is long and dangerous and
often involves leaping up waterfalls. The journey might take seven months.
But the salmon eat hardly anything during this time another amazing thing is
that they always return to the river they were born in. By Micheál DEADLY WEAPONS!!! D-Day Soon after the evacuation of Dunkerque in 1940, Great Britain started to plan a return to France. In 1942,the United states and Britain began to discuss a large-scale invasion across the English Channel. Deadly Weapons Deadly Weapons kill more than 1,000,000 people every year.

The key battles were fought along the western front, which stretched along Belgium and France ,and along the eastern front, which seesawed across Russia and Austria-Hungary. World War 2 World war II [1939-1945] killed more people, destroyed more property, disrupted more lives, and probably had more far-reaching consequences than any other war in history. Nuclear weapons are the most dangerous. They could wipe out asia’s population in one war head. Most nuclear weapons are held in the army.

children where asleep. Santee was on his sleighs on the way to the house
when he did see the house. The next morning the children got out of bed.
They
went down to the sitting- room. They all started to cry. One said Santa forgot
us. By David SETANTA When Setanta was young he always dreamed of becoming a member of the Red Branch Knights. He went to Eamhain Macha to train at the Macra, a special training school for young warriors. One
One day Setanta was playing hurling with his friends and he said he would go to the feast when the game was over. When he got to the house of Cualann he knocked on the door. He was about to shout when he heard a growl. He looked over and there was a hound guarding the door. The hound made a jump at Setanta but Setanta, with all his strength, shot his sliotar down the dogs throat. It fell down and died. When Cualann saw what happened he was glad that the boy was okay but sad that the dog had died. Setanta said that he would get a pup from the hound and train it to become a guard dog. But until the dog was trained Setanta said that he would stand in for the hound and guard Cualann’s house. From that day on Setanta was known as Cú Chualainn, the hound of Cualann. by Elaine Our Green Flag 2005 ENERGY CONSERVATION
24-Hour Temperatures We put thermometers in all the classrooms in the school. We left the thermometers in the classrooms for two hours. Then we checked them and recorded the information on a sheet of paper. The temperatures were checked every two hours for two days. We checked them at half past nine, half past eleven, half past one and the teacher checked them at half past three. We made graphs and charts on the computer and printed them off.

By Ryan, David, Lorcan, Shane, Laurence, Brandon, Dillon and Kevin. Sources: Look Around 5th Class and The Children’s Illustrated Encyclopedia. Pictures: The World Book Encyclopedia The sun gives us life. And if the was not there there would be no people. The sun is made of a huge ball of gas. The sun helps food grow. The sun is further away in the winter. In the summer it is close. The sun gives us energy.
