Breakfast time

On Tuesday morning, my class and I had a healthy breakfast at school. We ate breakfast in the parents’ room at half past ten. There were four different tables in in the parents’ room. Each table was filled with different food. There was a table with yogurt, cheese and granola. There was one with bread, another with cereal, milk and porridge and the last one had fruit and fruit juice on the table. Everyone tasted lots of different foods and liked them a lot. We had a great time and everyone wanted to have breakfast at school everyday.

Compliment Bug Party

On Friday our class had a compliment bug party. It was really fun because we were allowed to wear our own clothes .We weren’t the only class that had a compliment bug party the other fifth class had one too . We had our party after little break. We decided to do our nails as our compliment bug party. Everyone painted their nails different colours and did nail art too. Then we finished off the day with a movie called Wrekit Ralph.

Extraordinary Science

On Monday morning we were all very excited. We were going to Cavan Institute to a science fair. On the way we stopped at the park to play because the other two classes were so far back. Teacher said that it could be our busy break for the day. We ran over to the line so the other classes didn’t see us. When we entered the gates of Cavan Institute there was lots of students welcoming us. When we went in it looked like a hospital. Excitedly we walked into a room upstairs. It felt like we were adults. We sat down together but when sixth class came in we were all squashed. The fair was called Extraordinary Science. The first experiment was to blow a ball out of a bottle. Charlotte was the volunteer. It didn’t work, it kept falling out and hitting Charlotte in the face. Did you know why? It was because the bottle was full of air. The next experiment was to make a helium balloon go up with a heavy piece of tape on the end. He blew a hairdryer on the balloon and it floated into the air. After a few minutes it came back down. There were lots more great experiments. When we got back to the school each pupil got a ruler and a pencil that said www.scienceweek.ie. We all had a great time and would love to go again.

Yoga

On Monday the third of November 2014 my class and I did yoga. We did it for half an hour and it was great fun. We lay on mats and breathed in and out to it. There were candles lit and they smelt lovely. We did a bridge position on our mats. A bridge position is where you put your hands back on the mat and bend over your back. When we did the bridge position we could feel it in our legs and back. We also had to lie down on the mats and try and get up without bending our knees. Did you know that from a new born baby to any age can do yoga? So everyone in the world can do yoga. The class loved yoga because it’s a relaxing time for you and it’s also very good for the body. We can’t wait to do it again!

Swimming

It was our last day of swimming on the 22^nd of October. Most of our class went. We were split into two groups. One of the groups were for people who can’t swim a length and the other for people who could swim a length. The swimming lessons went on for six weeks. We all enjoyed swimming. Our class lessons were on a Wednesday. On the last day of swimming lessons our class went on the slides. Some of us went on the slides lots of times. Some of the girls did not go on the slides as many times. It was great fun. We had to walk to the pool and back again even in the rain.
