Witch Attack!!

Dainel O Connell

Daniel O'Connell

By David

In 1798 there was a rebellion Between Ireland and England so The Act of Union was introduced in 1801 to stop another rebellion. The main points of the Act were:

1. The two countries would become one and be called "The united kingdom of Britian and Ireland."

2. Ireland no longer had a parliment it was now in London.

3. Irish members had to travel to London to take their seat.

Daniel O'Connell did not agree with violence and wanted Ireland to become it's own country again,BUT by peaceful means.This was called Catholic Emancipation.

In 1823 the Catholic Association was started. He had the support of all Catholics in Ireland and was elected as an MP in 1829. He could not take up his seat because he was catholic. The prime minister thought there would be another rebellion due to this so he allowed Catholic Emancipation in 1829.He could now claim his seat in Westminster and became known as "The Liberator".

He didn't agree with the Act of Union and wanted to get rid of it.So he organised "monster meetings" around Ireland to speak to the Irish people.

In 1847 the famine tore Ireland and it's people apart they had no food or work, all their crops had rotted. Daniel O'Connell died on a pilgrimage to Rome. He is buried in Glasnevin cemetery.

Ireland is very proud of Daniel O'Connell. He was pictured on the £20 note before the Euro came in.

There is a big statue of him on O'Connell Street.

Here is an old painting of Daniel. I wonder what is it he might be holding?

 Here is another old painting. This one is of one of his famous Monster Meetings.

Boxing by Lee

We started boxing every Thursday in September with Paul. It was great fun. I thought it was easy.

In October Josh, Dillon, Alan and I started the Silver Boxing Programme up in Ballybough. We started doing sparring. It was even more fun but it was a bit harder than the boxing back at the school. We went up every Tuesday. Some of the group are getting picked to go on the Gold Programme after the Halloween break.

Oíche Shamhna, le Damien

Oíche shamhna a bhí ann. Dhúisigh mé i rith na hoíche .Chuaigh mé sios an staighre.Chonaic mé ialtóg ag eitilt sa chistin. Chuaigh mé ar scoil agus chonaic mé creatlach. Cian is anim dó.Chuaigh mé go dtí on siopa agus cheannaigh mé Kinder egg. Chonaic mé taibhse sa siopa. Bhí eagla orm agus rith mé abhaile. Nuair a bhí mé ag rith abhaile chonaic mé cailleach ag ól sú oraiste . Chuaigh mé go dtí on pháirc agus thosaigh mé agus mo chairde ag imirt peile.

My Summer 2012 by Sheldon

I had a great summer I went to wexford for 3 days with my ma and my little sister, it was class. I went down to sunshine house with all my mates. I went on a few trips with my club like Funtasia and go karting it was class. I went on trial to the team Homefarm and I made the team but didn,t go back so I now play for Sherriff. My two cousins came over from England and I played with them for a while. During the summer I went to the Tall Ships with Jojnny, Clayton,Eoin and David and a few more that I hang around with and it was class. I went on everything that was there. I went to the beach in Bray and I climed the mountain. I watched Katie Taylor fight in the pub and I went to the amusements and all that stuff.

My St. Patrick's Day

One day I was playing out with my friends. Next my mam called me and said, "David, are you going to the parade?". I said, "Yes Ma!". So I went to the parade. Later, I got to town and I saw lots of people dressed as leprechauns. They had dyed their hair green. After a while, the parade ended.
On the way home, I saw a little mini creature, so I ran after him shouting, "Wait, wait, wait!", but he didn't listen. Then I caught up with him. I found myself at the end of a rainbow and also there was a pot of gold. The little man was 30cm tall. He wore a green hat and green clothes. He also had a shamrock on his jacket, a stick in his hand and a cigar in his mouth. Although he was mini and he looked cute, he was a horrible, evil and mean little man.
So I ran off to my house with the pot of gold. At home, I realised he had managed to jump in to the pot of gold and was now in my house!
After a while, I taught him to be nice, kind and good to other people. After some days, I was a millionaire with David Junior and we lived happily ever after.

The End.

My Sister's Programme

My sister watches a programme called Dora the Explorer. In the programme, there is a monkey called Boots. He loves eating bananas. They tell a lot of stories on Dora. When they go on an adventure, they have to keep sticking to Map in case they get lost. I think this programme is awful because my ma makes me watch it with my sister.

(But secretly I LOVE it!)

Homework

One cold, frosty morning, I went to school. When I got in, we were correcting our homework. I handed my homework copy up to my miss. Later that day, it got brighter and hotter. Before our lunch, the miss called me up.

"If you keep sticking to those awful stories I'll go bananas!" said the miss.

I said "Alright".

When I got home, I went straight to my homework.

The Winter

One day, I woke up. I looked out the window and I saw lovely sparkling snow on the ground. The birds were singing in the Winter snow. Although it was beautiful, it was very cold. I grabbed my blanket, covered myself quickly and flew down the stairs. I managed to light the fire in the fir-place, turn on the tv and make myself some hot chocolate. Then I went to the kitchen to do up the hot chocolate, eventhough I was covered so cosy and warm, I was still cold.

I got the hot choclate and some jelly, hopped on to the sofa and drank some of the hot chocolate. When I took my first sup, I felt like I was in Heaven. My mouth was like I had all of my hot chocolate drank. At the end, I went to the window for a last look at the beautiful snow. When I finished, I went for a long Winter's nap.
