Autumn Trees

2 weeks ago we made Autumn trees with the help of Niall. We made a mound with some clay. Then we used broken lolly pop sticks for a fence. We painted it all and then put in a small branch to make it look like a tree. We also sprinkled small twigs on the mound to make it look more real. Here is one of our trees.

Draughts

Last week we made Draughts pieces. We cut out clay with our pencil sharpeners. Then we painted them with glue and paint. Here are some pictures of us playing with them this week.

One Halloween by James

On the interactive whiteboard the boys chose 4 picures from the group below and wrote Halloween stories based on them. Here is James' story typed by Luke. The four words they had to use are in the cross.

One Halloween I was walking down the street when I saw Mr. Brennan. He was on his motor bike and I thought that was funny. After that I went to cut out my pumpkin and I thought I would make it look like Mr.Brennan. I knew this would scare all the kids. I hoped the kids will stay in their houses. That would mean more sweets for me. THE END.

Irish Legend meets the Larrier Legends!

Yesterday we were delighted to welcome Alan Kelly into our classroom. He was a great player for Ireland and is now the coach - helping Shay Given make the saves!
It was great to have Alan Kelly in the classroom and it was nice for him to meet the Larriers Legends! From one legend to another in fifth class we reckon!!

Family Crests

This week we are looking at our family crests. Everything in the crests mean something. This one is the family crest of our SNA Niall. The stag meant a "lover of harmony" Niall's ancestors' might have been a very peaceful family.

Autumn Poems

Autumn (by 5th class)

The squirrel lives in a tree.

Every day he has a cup of tea.

Autumn comes with bad weather.

He hides some nuts in his sweater.

The Nut (by Jordan)

I saw a nut on a tree

When I was havin' a wee.

I swapped it for a leaf.

The squrrel called me a thief.

The Grizzly Bear (by James)

Autumn comes every year

With a big Grizzly Bear.

Winter is coming very soon

So I will get ready this afternoon.
