Cross country Connaughts 2013

On Saturday 12th of October our 5th and 6th class cross country team went to Longford for the Connaughts. We met at school at 10:30. We took the school bus. We had to collect Mr.Canning on the way. It took an hour and a half to get there. It didn't seem that long because it was good fun on the bus.  Our race was the last race. It was a vey tricky course. Ben did the best coming 9th I came 12th Michael came 17th Dylan came 53th Bernie came 63th and Ciaran came 79th.  We were waiting for two  hours to find out where our team came. We left before the results because it was too long. We stoppd at Supermacs on the way down. I got a wrap and chips. We got back at around 7:30. On Monday we found out that our team came 3rd. It was a good day.

Eid Al Adah

Asalamalakum  which means 'hello' in Arabic.On Tuesday 15th October 2013 it will be 'Eid Al Ahad' which is the Muslim  tradition.There  are two Eids, the first one is  Eid Al Fatr   in the Muslim  calender , the other one is  Eid Al   Ahad. In the first Eid we fast for 30 days. Fasting is when we spend the whole day without eating until sunset. The second Eid is very special .We fast the day before Eid .Then the next day we go to the Sportlann to pray salat Al Eid . Mohammad El Mahi's  Dad is the Imam which is the priest.The prayer lasts  5-10 minutes.

We celebrated Eid Al Fatr in August.

We  are having a party  in the G.A.A. Club. People  bring  food there as well. People call  their  friends and  family  for  dinner. We  only eat meat,spaghetti,chips and pizza on the day!!!

Library Visit & Assembly

Today we went to the library. We went there to get books we went at 11 o'clock. Gabrielus, Kacper, Brian, Blessing, Mohammad, William and I got new library cards. I got four Beast Quest books. I have read some of those books before and I like the series. Gabrielus got five Beast Quest books.

At assembly Mr Waldron was saying well done to the boys that played in the mini sevens. Not only did they play their best but their behaviour was also excellent. Mr Carty was giving out medals for them.
