Charlie and the chocolate factory

On Thursday the 19th of December 2006 our annual Christmas play took place. Everyone participated. The name of the play was Charlie and the chocolate factory. Everyone had a very important job. That night, the younger classes, fourth and down sang songs. the senior classes, (fifth and sixth) acted in the play and sang songs. We went down to the hall every Monday to practise. The play was a great success and everybody enjoyed themselves, (especially the audience!!!).

Warm and sweet

Fun and vibrant

I'm a volcano

Explosive and magnificent.

Still get lots of cheers.

Our Poems For Mother's Day

My Mother is like a star

She is so bright, she lights my life.

Her eyes shine bright most during the night.

She watches over me.

She is so heavenly.

She is my Mammy.

by Emma Dolan

My Mam is like a star

She watches over me with shinning eyes.

She is so heavenly bright.

She is so bright she guides me through the rough patches of life.
