The Ghostbusters by Aaron Smith


This is the start of a really cool Ghost Busters story by Aaron......
Once upon a time there was a brave boy named Aaron. He was brave because he kicked the Headless Horseman and Freddy Krouger, Jason and lots of ghosts around. He was the head of the Ghost Busters. Here are the names of the Ghost Busters, Scott, Dylan, Callum, Ben Adam, Brandon, Nathan, Dane, Shane and Cian. They were up to their biggest treat yet and the ghosts were Ms. Stafford, Andy and Mr. O' Leary. They were very smart because they work in a freaky school that wakes me up doing the a-roo-cha-cha............to be continued!

Autumn Art






The boys have been really busy learning all about Autumn. They have been writing Autumn poetry. The boys have learned about migration, hibernation, and leaves falling off the trees. Ask any of the boys the colours of Autumn as Gaeilge! We made some beautiful works of art, like our owls and our stained glass windows.

Welcome Back Adam!!!


Adam returned from his big trip to Australia for his sisters wedding. While Adam was away he kept a diary of his time in Australia. His diary is fantastic! The boys in our class had lots of questions for him, and Adam was full of information and facts about Australia. Adam told us all about the Eureka Tower, and made us jealous when he told us about his brothers swimming pool! He had a great time on holiday, you should ask him about Melbourne and the Australian animals he saw. Best of all Adam made it home just in time for the arrival of his new baby sister Niamh! Adam you will be a brilliant big brother and will have so much to teach Niamh! p.s.....Thanks for the Tim- Tams!

Autumn


Third Class have been writing some beautiful Acrostic Poems. An Acrostic Poem uses the letters in a topic word to begin each line. Here is an example of the lovely poems....

Autumn by Cian Kinlan

A tree looses it's leaves,
Up above the trees the grey clouds float,
The conkers fall off the trees.
Up above the trees the birds are flying home.
My hands are freezing
Nanny knitting, she is the best. I love my Nanny.

Weekend Sports Report by Callum Byrne

The All Ireland Final was on on Sunday and Kerry were playing Dublin in Croke Park. Dublin were getting beaten in the first ten minutes but by the second half they caught up. They were winning by a point, but then Kerry got a point. But then Dublin got another point, and they got victory!



Yesterday Manchester United were playing Chelsea. They beat Chelsea 3-1 and Spurs were playing Liverpool and they bet them 4-0.
In the Rugby World Cup Ireland were playing Australia. It was a brilliant game and Ireland beat them 15-6.

3rd Class....Our First Few Weeks!



Third Class have been having lots of fun, learning lots of new things in their first few weeks back. Andy brought the boys on a 'Capital Letter Hunt' around the school and they found LOADS of examples all around the school.

We also learned about mini-beasts and went looking for mini-beasts in the school yard. The boys were so brave, catching lots of spiders, woodlouse, a millipede, and even a grasshopper! We brought them back to the class for closer inspection, under a maginfying camera! Our boys are experts on invertebrates, ask them anything about them next time.

Well done Rang a Trí, great start to the new school year. Keep up the good work!

Seachtain na Gaeilge i Larriers!

Tháinig Niall de Búrca ar chuairt chugainn! D'inis sé scéalta! Bhí sé an-ghreannmhar!
Rinneamar damhsa céilí! Bhí céilí mór againn sa chlós! Bhí an-spraoi againn!
Tá an Ghaeilge beo agus láidir i Larriers!
