Different Decades

Me and my father BOTH LOVE MUSIC. I like hip hop and rap with artists like Eminem and 50 Cent, whereas my FATHER likes MUSIC from the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s with bands like the Rolling Stones, Fleetwood Mac, The Eagles, Dire Straights, The Police, Bob Marley and Pink Floyd and many, many more he would like to mention but we would be here all night writing them all down! My dad says that there will never be proper MUSIC made like from his generation again and it's no wonder the kids brains are scrambled from listening to all the BANG-BANG and THUMP-THUMP that comes from hip hop and rap.

A New Friend

One day, I was walking down the street. I bumped into some man. His name was Joel. I said, "hello". He said, "What is you name?". "My name is Adam", I said. "Will you be my friend?" said Joel, "because I have no friends". I said "OK!!!" in a surprise. So we went into my house. We played all day like there was no tomorrow. Now Joel has a friend. By Adam

My mother decided to bring me out to MacDonalds as a treat and we lived happliy ever after. The End.

The Rabbits by Adam R

Once upon a time, I had a rabbit. The rabbit's name was Fluffy. Our rabbit could do lots of tricks, but one day he was killed by a lorry, so I got a new rabbit and I called him Mr. Soft. The next day, he got butchered by the same lorry that killed my other rabbit. So... I got a new rabbit and his name was Blobby. Our new rabbit, Blobby, did not die right away. However, a few days after we got him, I came home from school and my ma said "Blobby ran away... O, Sorry, I mean he got klilled by a lorry" "NOOOOOOO!" I screamed. I will not be getting any more rabbits

A Day in the Park

Jake Murphy

One day, some birds landed in our back yard. I said to my brither, 'Don't frighten them away!' I went and got some bread to feed them. My brother said 'Throw the breead to them, and they will come to you'. I threw some, and all the birds ate the bread. I felt good.

The Wicklow Mountains by Dylan

Winter Morning. It was cold and the fog was coming out of there mouths. Bear Grills and his friends were out hunting. Suddenly five medium sized hungry mountain lions came down. Bear Grills tried hard to fight, but the lions were too strong. Bear then remembered the things in his bag. He grabbed his walkie-talkie and called for help.

The helicopter came. It caught a lion and brought it to the zoo. Bear Grills got lots of money. This is how he got rich and famous and got his own TV show. On his very first show, in the forest he jumped off a tree and fell. He broke his leg. A snake tried to eat him but bear shot him in the head.

Bad Wizard by Brandon

One sunny day I was wondering along the island. I was chasing the bad wizard because he had a troll. The troll was my best friend. I had to run by the old houses and over the mountains, and swim the lake. Finally I got there. The wizard froze me but the troll jumped up in the air and kicked the wizard in his big fat head. Then he let me go. The troll got back home and was safe.

Pirate Story at Sea By Adam

One day on the Jeanie Johnson captain Adam and his crew were sailing to England calmly until their worst enemy struck the ship because he smelled the fish onboard.
It was Andy the sea monster. He was crashing against the ship to get a bite of the sweet juicy fish! They had to turn back to Ireland because Andy the sea monster was getting in the way of their docking spot. The good thing was that Andy the sea monster couldn’t see where Captain Adam and his crew went. They were behind him. When Andy turned around BANG!!!! He was dead because he got shot with our nine powerful cannons. The crew were very happy.

Year of the Dragon

This week Rang a Trí have been learning all about the festival of Chinese New Year. This year is the Year of The Dragon. The Dragon is said to be afraid of the colour red, of loud noises, and of fire. So it is tradition in China to light red lanterns and set off fireworks to scare the dragon away. Have a look at the boys dragons!
