On the 5th of October O.L.V. G.N.S  had some special visitors. They were Irish soldiers from the army. They came in a green van.

While they were on there we all waited quietly in the hall for them to arrive. We waited a good while for them to come, the reason why was because they got lost. When they got lost they only realised that Ballymun was such a big place.

When they arrived all of the teachers didn’t know what door they were coming through so there was teachers running around everywhere. They came in and introduced themselves. Some girls from 5th and 6th class, read the proclamation.
They also thought that the whole proclamation was a bit long, so, when they were finished one of the soldiers read the end.

After that 2 or 3 girls from each class asked some questions.
We learned some really interesting facts from their answers like things about the flag, their uniform and lots more. #INTERESTING

Then the whole school stood up and sang Amhrán Na bhFiann. The 5th and 6th also played the tin whistle. Then two of the youngest students took the flag.

It was a day to remember.

On Friday the 5th & 6th  class went on a Ballymun tour.

We went after big break. First we stopped at the local library and everybody jumped on to the wall and Ms. Ní Riain took a picture of everyone. We then took another picture at the CDEB. We then went to the Ballymun shopping centre.

Afterwards we went to the last flats in Ballymun and Ms Haughton’s class took a selfie.We the went to Northwood and ate some yummy blackberries.

We loved our little tour.

Thank you Mrs. Shannon and all the teachers .

On Thursday our class made healthy brownies with sweet potato in them.

First we went down to the parents room and sat on chairs while our teacher got the ingredients ready.

Then we all got in a circle around the table and each got turns to help out with the ingredients.

While the brownies were in the oven we all played Chinese Whispers and Killer Blink while teacher made mint hot chocolate for us #Yum!

After a couple of minutes we got our hot chocolate and brownies. Two girls were our test eaters, the brownies were YUMMM!!

After we had our brownies and hot chocolate we cleaned up and went out to yard.

             It was a really delicious treat!!!
