Hello from Drim N.S.!

On June 3rd of June, we set off in bright sunshine for our school tour to Turoe Pet Farm. We had great fun in the playground.

Fun in the playground

The animals were great fun. The white donkey had given birth to a foal earlier that day. One sheep looked like he had no legs! We could pet the rabbits and we fed the other animals.

Looking at the animals

Inflatable city was amazing and we bounced like crazy!

Having fun!

On April 24th 2009 we celebrated GAA 125 years.  The children and teachers from Moyglass school came to visit us and a great days fun was enjoyed by all.

Fun and Games

There was an old woman who lived in a shoe.
She had so many children, she didn’t know what to do.
She gave them some broth without any bread,
And kissed them all gently and sent them to bed.

A house in a welly!

We visited  Slieve Aughty Riding Centre to learn more about nature in our locality.

Slieve Aughty Tour

Tracie and Merel from Slieve Aughty Riding Centre visited us to show us how to care for horses  – what they eat, how to clean them and what equipment we need to ride them.

Learning about horses

They also told us a great story about how Slieve Aughty was set up and taught us about local plants and animals.

We learned all about light and shadows. We also learned this poem.

My Shadow by Robert Louis Stevenson.

I have a little shadow that goes in and out with me,
And what can be the use of him is more than I can see.
He is very, very like me from the heels up to my head,
And I see him jump before me when I jump into my bed.

The funniest thing about him is the way he likes to grow,
Not at all like proper children which is always very slow,
For he sometimes shoots up taller like an india-rubber ball,
And he sometimes goes so little that there’s none of him at all.

He hasn’t got a notion of how children ought to play,
And can only make a fool of me in every sort of way.
He stays so close beside me, he’s a coward you can see.
I’d think shame to stick to nursie as that shadow sticks to me.

One morning very early, before the sun was up,
I rose and found the shining dew on every buttercup,
But my lazy little shadow, like an arrant sleepy head,
Had stayed at home behind me and was fast asleep in bed.

Looking at shadows

I mí Márta, bhí spraoi againn i rith Seachtain na Gaelge. Ghléas na páistí i éide bréige mar charachtar éigean. Bhí Homer, Bart agus Lisa Simpson ann ó Springfield. Bhí an cochaillín dearg, síog agus banphrionsa ann agus iad go léir go hálainn. Bhí cupla buachaillí bó ann. Bhí taibhse (nó púca) ann agus bhí eachtrán ann ó pláinéad Zog.

Seachtain na Gaeilge

Bhí gach páiste ábalta é féin a chur i láthair do na pháistí eile as Gaeilge. Iontach!

Seachtain na Gaeilge

We learned how to stay healthy.

We keep healthy.

In spring, we sowed sweet pea seeds and watch them grow.
