Lá brea Oíche Shamhna a bhí ann. Rinne Mamaí bairín breac agus chuir sí fáinne isteach. Chuir Mamaí maisiúcháin sa teach. Ghearr Dadaí aghaidh scanrúil ar an puimcín. Chuaigh mé ó theach go teach in éineacht le mo chara. Go tobann, chas mé timpeall agus chonaic mé taibhse taobh thiar dom. Lig mé beic asam agus rith mé síos an bothar. Is beag nach bhfuair mé bás. Rith mo chara in éineacht liom. Bhí eagla an domhain orm.
Neasa: An bhfuil tú ceart go leor?
Rossa: Níl. Tá eagla an domhain orm. Chonaic mé táibhse taobh thiar dom.

Welcome to our class blog!

Welcome to our class blog. Here we will tell you a little bit about what is happening in our classroom. In the month of September, we learned about the Aztecs, Greek Mythology and the rivers, lakes, mountains etc of Ireland. The Aztecs lived in Tenochtitlan in Mexico city. It was built on lake Texcoco in 1345. 300 years later the Spanish invaded the Aztecs and the empire came to an end. King Midas was one of the greedy Greek kings who had a craving for gold. The ancient Greeks invented Gods to represent things that happened in their lives. The tallest mountain in Ireland is Carrantouhill, and it is in the McGillycuddy Reeks. The longest river is the River Shannon, Lough Allen, Lough Ree, and Lough Derg are on the River Shannon.
We did a lot of revision in maths. We learned new phrases in Irish, such as "in éineacht leis ... "  which means "with him" , and ""ar aghaidh libh", which means "go on" or " carry on".
We went to Santry and we competed in an Orienteering competition. There are some photos of the event below. We hope you like them!
We learned how to redo Vincent Van Gogh's sunflowers, We did some still life sketches. We made stick men and women out of pipe cleaners and lollipop sticks and we created cool Autumn pictures.
We learned a bit about Rugby and the Rugby World Cup. Each person was in charge of researching a country. We thought Ireland would get to the finals, but we got beaten by Wales at the weekend.
We also wrote about our heroes and we hope to put up some of these later on. Keep an eye out!

Here are our pictures from Santry:
