Croke Park Final by Jonathan

On Saturday I went to see the school play gaelic in Croke Park. The Larriers boys and the girls came out of the tunnel and the crowd cheered. They started the match and larriers got stuck in. Straight away Shayo scored and the crowed cheered. Larriers kept on scoring. Then the other team caught up with Larriers and the game ended. The game went into extra time. Larriers scored three more goals. Larriers won the trophy and we all went home happy.

This week we went out on Sheriff Street and got some more photos of the area to compare with today. The boys took the camera and tried to recreate the same scenes as the Colm Pierce photos.

Now And Then

This week we are comparing photos of our area in 1989 with photos of today. Here are our first two pictures. The old photos were taken by a man named Colm Pierce.

David and Goliath

David killed goliath with his sling and a stone. Goliath was 3 metres tall. David was an israelite and Goliath was a Phillistine. When David killed Goliath the Israelites won the war. David grew up and became king of Israel.

Halloween in China and Germany

Another tradition in Ireland is that we sometimes scoop out the inside of a pumpkin and put a light in it. In Germany people put away all their knives because they don't want to hurt any ghosts that will be in their house. In china they take out photos of dead relatives and put food and water in front of them.

Halloween Traditions

Every Halloween we do some fun things and we call these things traditions. We fill a basin with water and stick our heads in to try to pick up money. We go around to different houses and get sweets and money. This is called trick-or-treating. My favourite tradition is the bonfire because I have lots of fun with my friends.

Stephen Gately

On Saturday 10th of October Stephen Gately died. Stephen went to our school when he was a boy. He was a great singer and he was a super Larrier. When he was on our street he always said hello to people and he was very popular with the people. Here is some Art work our class did to remember Stephen.

Magpies are black and white but have some green in their wings. They like to eat mice and ticks. They are often seen perching off the backs of cows picking off maggots and insects. Magpies steal things and kill other birds. Magpies throw other birds out of their nests. They give you bad luck, we have to solute them and they are also vicious birds.
