December 2005 Nollaig 2005 Thank you for visiting our website. Our names are Fiona and Meabh. We are in 6th class, and we are the current editors.
Our friends in Finland sent us this lovely Christmas card. They are in Helsinki. The writing on it is in Finnish. It is hard to see it. It says..."Hyvaa Joulua". This means "Happy Christmas". In Irish it is "Nollaig Shona". Christmas as a Child I loved Christmas as a child. It was always full of
magic and fun. I always loved decorating the house and putting up the
Christmas tree and writing our letters to Santa. It was so exciting. I never
wanted to grow up. I remember when I was about 10 years old and had been
allowed to go to We always woke early on Christmas morning because I and
my brothers were so excited! Yes! Santa had arrived and oh! what fun we had
playing with all our lovely presents. But all too soon we grew up, and I now
look forward again to Christmas with my own children and passing on to them
the traditions of my childhood. When I was young When I was young Christmas was very different. We
didn’t have Christmas trees; we just had beautiful berry Holly. In school
we used put on a play and go out singing Christmas Carols. We used walk to
Dungarvan to Midnight Mass. By Stephen, 5th Class (written by his grandmother) What did the big cracker say to the little cracker? My pop is bigger than your
pop. Who carries a sack and bites
people? Santa Jaws.
Why did Rudolf go down the chimney? Because he wanted to get Santa's beer.
Why shouldn't Santa drink and drive? Because he might crash.
Why did Santa tell Rudolf to go to bed? Because it was not Christmas yet.
What happened when Santa went down the chimny? He got stuck.
What does santa have for tea? Santa Bageti.
By Claudia Jack Michael and Richard and Aisling. What did Santa say to Rudolf ? Come on, let's run into the disco because it looks great.

Christmas Christmas is coming. Santa is
bringing me lots of toys. I will have great fun on Christmas Day. I love
Christmas. by Sarah, 1st class CHRISTMAS In the North Pole the elves are working very hard.
We have our tree up there are lots of decorations. The elves are helping
Santa to make all the toys for all the boys and girls. We are staying at
home for our dinner this year. My cousins will call up for Christmas night.
I am looking forward to Christmas. I am looking forward to telling all my
friends what I got. This is my sister's second Christmas and she is really
looking forward to it. by Claudia, 2nd Class My Grandparents My Nanna was born in the area of Kilnafarna. There were three children in
the family, two girls and one boy. They went to Glenbeg N.S. Nanna never
went to secondary school; she stayed at home and helped her mother. They
walked and cycled everywhere, and walked to They went to football matches in Francie “No ball too high to catch, Or kick too hard to stop, In younger days with dog and gun, Few could match his shot.” By Heather My dogs I
have 1 puppy called Buddy. He is one year old. I love him and I own him.
When I leave him out in the morning he goes mad. Once when I left him out he
scratched me on the leg. by Ellen Hannah We have a dog. Her name is Hannah. My brother owns Hannah. Sean is his name. He taught here how to sit down and lie down. She likes to lick people on the face. She is very funny. We had another dog. His name was Charlie. He ran away. Hannah is very nice. She doesn’t bite. She is black and brown. She is very big. I love her. By Sarah, 2nd class
Narnia A lot of bad things go on in Narnia. The White Witch turned Mr. Tumnus
into a stone and she turned squirrels into stone too. It is always winter,
never spring. The White Witch gave Edmund stale bread and a tiny bit of
water. And afterwards she gave him five Turkish delight. Edmund then met
Lucy. Lucy asked what was wrong. He said I’m fine. But there was something
wrong. He felt sick. by Ellen, 2nd class
Narnia Now Lucy, Edmund, Peter and Susan went into the wardrobe, and now they
all believe in Narnia. But the White witch is on the loose. Oh no! But
it’s good that Aslan is going out to kill the White Witch and save Edmund.
All the others shouted “hurray”. Well, I forgot to tell you that they
have to go to the Stone Table first… and guess what they’re travelling
with? Ok, I’ll tell you. The answer is they’re travelling with beavers.
But now I have to get on with it. When they arrived at the Stone Table they
met Aslan. Now we have to wait to see what comes next… by Aisling, 2nd class.
