A Dragons Tale

 

Once there was a dragon and a troll. The troll was spotted lifting heavy boulders by the king and solders .The king offered him a place in the army the troll accepted the offer.

The dragon however lived in a huge castle in the clouds. The reason he hides his castle in the clouds is because he was guarding a magic box which gave dragons the ability to fly and breathe fire. The magic box has been passed down by thousands of generations. Everyone did not like the dragon. One day the king ordered his soldiers to slay the dragon and bring back the magic box. The king wanted to know what it did. But the dragon has very tuff skin so ordinary spear could get through his skin. Only a special type of bow could get through the tough skin of the dragon.

When the troll heard he was getting a magic box he wanted to keep it for himself and bring it back to his cave. So when the day came and all of the soldiers including the troll were lined up for the battle the king gave the signal and they were off. They didn’t know where the castle was so it took them a few hours to find it.

When they found the castle the dragon was already there because he had amazing eye sight so he could see them for miles. He set off a big storm of fire. All the planes dropped out of the sky like fly’s. But the troll was clever enough to use the emergency exit and parachute onto the castle floor. The troll was the one who had the special type of bow and arrow and hit the dragon but the dragon pulled the arrow out and chased the troll when he was not looking ahead the dragon chased him off the castle and the troll fell. The dragon put a bandage on his wound and lived happy for the rest of his life.

Trip to Christ Church 2015

On Thursday 9^th October 5^th & 6^th class went to Christchurch at 9.15 we left by bus. A few parents came with us, Karen and Mairead. Reverent Brian came too and Mrs. Lawson. When we arrived in Dublin, we had a 10minute stop at a park. Then we walked to Christ Church. When we got there it was about 10.15.

Rev. Niall Sloane welcomed us especially the children who had never been there before. There were about 300 – 400 people there.

All around us, wherever we looked there was the most beautiful architecture, the floors were tiled with lovely terracotta in the different designs. There different schools did a drumming performance, it was fantastic, really Brilliant. I loved it! When Rev. Nigel Mackey said he loved it too. After he chose four boys and got four chairs since the theme was Friendship, he was going to demonstrate a trusting game. All boys had to sit in different directions on the choirs. Then they had to lie on each others laps. One by one, the chairs were taken away. We had a few hymns and then we left Christchurch.

After the service we walked to Eddie Rockets, the adults sat at one table the boys at another and all the girls were together. The food was delicious! Afterwards we all got gifts.

When we came out we walked to Dublin Castle into the type of garden which had a maze. We stayed there for 15 – 20 minutes. After that we got back to the bus and went to the Terracotta Warriors. When we got there, we watched a video about how they were made. Then we went to look at the exhibits, there were models and cases with tools, arrow heads, and coins from ancient China.

We all took turns in reading what it said beside each display case. There were pots, mini spears and arrow heads, swords and jade. There were a few real warriors but the rest were replicas which we were able to touch. The only warriors we saw were cavalry, archers, foot soldiers and Charioteers.

We all enjoyed our day out. We got back to school around 6 o’clock, tired but happy after our day.
