Turning off the tap saves water. Everybody needs water. River water is bad for you. Africa The Nile is Africa’s longest river. It is also the longest river in the world. It touches off 10 different countries in Africa. The Aswan High Dam is built on the Nile. Lake Victoria is the largest lake in Africa. It borders the countries of Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania.
The Hare and the Tortoise The hare and the tortoise were talking. Why don’t we have a race asked the hare. Very well said the tortoise. Ready steady go said the fox. The hare ran very fast. He stopped to wait for the tortoise. He fell fast asleep. The tortoise won the race. All the animals cheered. Kate St. Patrick’s Day St. Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland. St. Patrick’s Feast Day is the 17th of March. St. Patrick’s Day is celebrated in different parts of the world. In Ireland we celebrate his feast day by wearing the shamrock and have a St. Patrick’s Day Parade in a town. It goes from Abbeyside down through the town into the square and there will be judges there to pick the best float or act. Last year there were elephants, horses, brass bands, the army, clowns, Mr. Bean and Bob the Builder. There is also a huge parade in Dublin on the television.

By Ailbhe FionnLong long ago in Ireland their was a man called Finegas. Every day he went fishing by a river. There was a special fish called the salmon of knowledge. One day a woman and her son called Fionn came to see Finegas to ask him to teach Fionn all he knew. Shortly after that he caught the fish. He told Fionn to cook the fish but not to eat it. There was a bubble on the fish. Fionn poked it and burnt his finger and he sucked it. He had all the knowledge. He became a great and famous leader in Ireland.

Just to finish off for this month, you might like to take a look back to this time last year. |
Conor Mac
Neasa was the king of Ulster. His warriors were called the Red Branch
knight. He trained the Macra to fight. The Macra were boys who wanted to
become warriors. Setanta was the king’s nephew. He wanted to join the Macra.
He kept begging his mother until she said yes. He was only seven years old.
He set off for Conor’s fort with his silver ball, hurley, shield and his toy
sword. The Macra were playing a game of hurling near the fort. Setanta
joined in without being asked. The Macra threw their hurleys at him. He
caught them all on his back . Setanta chased the boys away. The king was
playing chess and he saw this. He was angry. He sent for Setanta. Setanta
told him his story and the king allowed him to join the Macra.
