Giuseppe Rossi

Giuseppe Rossi was born in New Jersey on the 1st of Febuary 1987. He made his Man Utd reserve team début on 11^th November 2004 and recently made his first team debut on the 15^th of October 2005. He has been full 15times and twice a sub he ha scored 10 goals for the reserves. As reserve team striker who made his reserve team debut last season, Giuseppe Rossi has plenty in common with Wayne Rooney. But his respective journey of the fringe of the reds’ first team squad could hardly have been more different. Guiseppe Rossi arrived in great form of publicity from Parma last summer. Already an International and known as one of the most promising players in Europe, the coverage of his transfer ensured he was almost a household player name before he so much as picked up a Man Utd training top. This season has done little to dispel his billing. Four goals in three matches for the 18-year-old saw the quick-footed striker quickly promoted to the first team.

2nd class have been reading a story about a boy who will eat ONLY custard. Curtis, the cook, is getting fed up. She decided to visit her friend, the witch for advice. BUT then we decided to CHANGE the direction of the story... read on !

The witch

One day I heard a knock on the door it was my friend cook. She told me what happened. She had left the magic pot that I had given to her for a loan for cooking loads of custard for Curtis. I told her to chill out. I told her to come in and sit down and I made a cup of tea for her. I told her to watch the match before it was dinnertime. So we sat there watching the match. Waterford were playing Cork. When it was nearly finished Waterford won. I was so happy but then it was dinnertime. She was panicking. I said I had a spare pot especially for her.

Here's another one...

The Witch

One day I heard a knock my door. It was my friend Cook. She came over to have dinner. She said Curtis was annoying so she needed a rest from him. She said she had to do all the washing up so he could watch tv. That wasn’t fair.

Cook: Will you help me to tell her a lesson? Please help...I don’t know what to do.

Witch: Put your thinking cap on. There are lots of ideas.

Cook: Well I have no ideas.

Witch: Why don’t you say give me a rest? I’m sick of you bossing me around.

Cook: OK I will do that. Now lets have dinner... lovely...chips, fish fingers and peas.

When they finished dinner Cook said "Thank you very much. Come over on Saturday and we will have dinner."

My Townland

My name is Meabh and I live in Abbeyside, Dungarvan. Abbeyside in Irish is Dún na Mainistreach, which means Fort of the Abbey. It is called that because Monks used to live there 500 years ago. There are 3 schools in Abbeyside & over 300 red houses in Abbeyside. A train used to run from Dungarvan to Waterford a long ago. I  live in Park Lane and I live beside the railway. It is now a walkway which is now called the track. We have a beach called the White Strand because the sand is very pale.

Trip to Poland

My family decided to go travelling around eastern Europe in the summer holidays. My dad knew a man in Poland that worked with him. We were going to meet him there and stay with him for a while. It was very exciting for us. We bought a 90 Mercedes that was going to get us around Europe. We were going to bring my brother's friend too. My mam was not able to go the same time as us so she came and met us in Brussels. We booked a boat to Liverpool and we were getting a trailer tent from my dad's friend. We were going to stay with him for a few days. We were going to Dublin to get the boat this morning. We got up really early to go. We got on the boat and st 6 o'clock  we arrived in Liverpool. This was just the start of our travelling. We met Rattlas at the harbour and we went back  to his house. We stayed with Rattlas for four days. We got the trailer-tent and went on to London. We stayed with Dan in London. We met uncle Mickey and my dads friend there. We got up this morning and drove to Dover to get the boat to Calais in France. We went to a really nice camping site. We met a man called Ruen he was a busker. He had this bike that Mickey Shane and me fell off. My Dad went in the bucket of it to go shopping. It was really funny. We had a great time with Ruen. Unfortunately we had to leave Ruen and go to the other camping site......

Houses and Homes

We were learning about homes and houses. Houses can be made of mud. Houses can be made of bricks. They could be made of snow and ice. They are called igloos. They can be made out of sand or cement, or wood or grass or straw. Caravans are made of metal. If a house is on its own it is called detached. A flat is a part of a house. If there are two houses joined together they are called semi-detached.

Conor has a detached house.

Caoimhe`s is semi-detached.

Ailbhe`s is detached.

Clodagh`s is detached.

Tara`s is detached.

Sarah’s is detached.

Megan’s is detached.

Jade’s is detached.

Louis is detached.

Kate’s is detached.  

You can get really big houses that are called mansions. A king or Queen lives in a palace. A house is just a place to live but the people in the house make it special. It is their home.

``HOME,SWEET HOME ``

Ballinacourty

I live up the road from Ballinamintra caves. My townland is Ballinacourty, Cappagh. There are lots of caves there, but in one of them archaeologists have found three bodies from the Famine. They found a mother a father and a child. They have also found a skeleton in the caves from the ice-age. They called him the ___________. There is also a Fulacht Fhia in our Bog. A Fulacht Fhia was a place where the Celts cooked. It was a big hole dug in the ground. There were boiling rocks in it. The rocks made the water boil and then they threw the meat in.
