Trip to the Hugh Lane gallery.

On Thursday the 21st of January, my class and I went on a trip to the art gallery. We went with two girls from the teachers college. A week before we went to the gallery the two girls were in our class and they helped us draw portraits. I drew one of Killian. On the day when we were going to the gallery it was raining, but we still walked up .When we got there we met our tour guide, her name was Olive. The first painting she showed us was a painting by Ciaran Lennon, he painted stuff on copper. One of them looked like a water fall and the other one looks like lava. Both of them were excellent. Then we went to see paintings of Francis Bacon’s family. When Francis Bacon was a child he had asthma. His dad had alot of animals so that was very bad for his asthma but finally when he was sixteen he moved out. He had about three houses they were all very nice. Then
We moved to see the studio. After that we saw a few more paintings but then it was time to go so we all said thank you to Olive and headed home. I really enjoyed it!

Paper helicopters




Today our class made paper helicopters. We all had to cut out different shapes from a template and then we folded them along dotted lines to make the rotors. We used paper clips at the bottom as a weight. We all dropped the helicopters from a height and watched them as the rotor blades were spinning around as they fell.we all noticed that when we bent the rotor blades the other way round that the blades changed direction in thier spin.We all had races with our helicopters to see which one was the best. Brandon said the best one should be the helicopter that stays in the air the longest.

Halloween Night

One Halloween night it was not really bright.
Clouds covered the moon.
The MONSTERS are coming soon.
What will we do,
Will we hide??
I'm not going out,
I'm staying inside!

(DOOM)

A witch flew in to my room on a magic broom
She said to me fear this year your doom is near

Ghouls and skeletons walking down the street looking for
Blood and people to eat

But it was not till then when doom will desend at half past ten
The world will end

At half past ten I saw a bright light the world was doomed
As a meteorite het earths core no one could breath any more as
The world ended

The end
By KILLIAN MCKENNA

It is Halloween night,
Everybody is going to get a fright,
And when the moon comes out,
Everyone is going to shout aahhhhhhhhh
After that the beast will come,
And like a machine it will hum,
And it will kill you easily.
