People from Calmark in Cappoquin came to teach us about
our Community. They were coming to our classes for 5 weeks. We all got
certs at the end.

The School Extension

We are building on a new classroom and a school
hall. The building is progressing very well. We hope it will be
finished before September. It is being built by Terry Mc Carthy a
local builder. We will be using the hall for drama and indoor PE
subjects. Junior and senior infants will be moving into the new
classroom. The wall will be knocked between junior and senior and
first and second will move into junior and senior room.

We
are building a Community Centre in Ballinameela. It is next to the
school. It will be finished by the summer. We had to do a lot of
fundraising to pay for it. We will be able to play some games in it.
It will be also be used for meetings. Outside the hall is a pitch. Ballinameela train in the pitch. I was there a few times. It is very
good. The school use the pitch sometimes. We will be able to play
football matches there. By Donagh in 2 class. |

Playhouse
My parents went to Cork last week and bought a
playhouse for me and my sisters and brothers. A man is going to
bring the playhouse on a lorry and put it in our garden. We are so
excited and can’t wait to see it.

SaraJane coloured this. Can you see which
one is different?

I'm a
speed hailstone, an ice lump.
I'm a
clap of thunder, a noisy thump.
I’m a
chilly snowflake soft and white.
I’m a ray
of sunshine warm and bright.
I’m a
falling raindrop, splashing to the ground.
I’m a
winter snowball, hard and round.
I got
this from a book called Weather Poems
