Our Dublin Bus Tour

Last week Rang a Trí went on a Bus tour of Dublin. We went to the National Museum of Ireland first. There were lots of different types of preserved animals and birds from all over the world on display.

Next we went to Collins Barracks. There was lots of army clothes and guns and tanks. We also got to dress up. To finish off the day we all had a choc ice. Yum!

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!

Congratulations Ms. Sally!


Third Class were DELIGHTED to see Ms. Sally back today and so glad we got to meet gorgeous baby Lucy!! Ms. Sally thought all the boys looked really grown up since last time she was in school. One very kind Larrier brought Ms. Sally and Lucy a present in. Cian was really thoughtful and was really happy to give Ms. Sally this Mammy Chick and Baby Chick! I'm sure Lucy will love them. Well done Cian!

Making Cubes- Photography by Scott!






While the boys were busy making cubes, using the net of a cube, Scott went around taking photographs. I think there is a future photographer in the class!

The boys worked really hard to make their 3D shapes from match sticks. Have a look and see if you recognise any of the shapes!
