 The Sun
So amazing and so bright
So unbelievable and powerful!!
Never-stopping
Life could not be without it!!
Interesting and mysterious,
Gas and plasma, filled  with solar flares
Hot all the time!!
The sun is a star
My star!!

By Rowan Rang 5

                      The Sun
She sends her beams to the rippled lake,
Like the golden frosting on a sunlit cake.
She puts a gleam in the fish’s eye,
As it flows down the stream, bobbing on by.
She sends shafts of sunlight to the forest floor,
She puts her beams on the rabbit’s door.
She watches the children splashing on the golden beach,
She makes the water so blue and clear so 
You can see into the deeps
She makes the dog sleepy, as it lies on the grass,
And she casts shadows on the cat as it lies on a branch
Then towards the end of the day she hides  her face far away.

My First Day of School

My First Day of School,
I had the butterflies,
I remember my dad bringing me in ,
With my big tears brimming in my eyes,
I remember looking around at everybody,
And thinking everybody was looking at me,
I remember doing some work as I thought then,
And feeling so professional as I took out my glittery pens,
Before the day had come to an end 
I'd  made myself a couple of friends.

Cooking Soup in School
On the 20th of October 2016 we made soup and scones in school. We used the vegetables we had grown in our school garden this year.
First we peeled and chopped the vegetables then we put butter in the pot and melted it. After a while one of the other groups started making scones. To make the scones we put cheese, flour, milk ,sugar, baking powder, egg ,butter and water into a bowl. In my group(Ava, Leah, Alannah-Bel and I. We kept on peeling vegetables while three other groups made the scones. When it was little break we went and had lunch. After break we did work until big break then we went back into the hall with the other classes and we drank the soup and ate some scones. This was a great learning experience and I hope we get opportunities like this again.

Our Autumn Poems 


Autumn
Autumn has taken over the forest,
There is a golden, crunchy carpet on the damp forest floor,
The little russet squirrel perched up on its branch,
Crunching on a small brown hazel nut,
Lots of mushrooms and fungi bursting forth,
Through the carpet of moist decaying leaves,
On the forest floor the anxious hedgehog,
Nervously makes it’s way 
Through the decomposing mountain of mess and fungus,
Enjoying  the misty morning.

By Laoise  Rang 6

Autumn
The golden crisp leaves underneath your feet,
While the fungus lives at the base of the trees.
The colour palette of autumn has arrived,
So has the musky smell.
And the swirling, icy cold sun from northern lands.
The ivy now grasps onto the trees,
Hiding,against the breeze.
At night, owls hoot and crickets creak.
While the crescent moon and twinkling stars
Illuminate the forest floor.
The wind rustles the trees,
While the sun is hazy, as it stumbles and rises
On an autumn morning, in the woods.

By Adam Rang 6



Autumn Poem
Autumn, the time when warm weather turns colder,
Evenings getting longer,
Days getting shorter,
Windy weather rustling the few leaves on the nearly bare trees,
Watching the squirrels gathering nuts
Getting ready for the icy winter
 Listening to the crunch of the leaves,
As you walk along the forest floor
Hear the pitter patter of the squirrel’s feet,
As they scurry up the trees,
About to go into hibernation

By Fiach 6th



Autumn


Why does autumn leave a trace?

Of red , yellow and brown?

Does autumn leave a blanket of leaves because the earth is cold?

Why does autumn leave vibrant scents and musty smells?

Why do the animals steal her precious fruits?

Is autumn playing a big game of hide and seek, with the animals?

Is autumn the queen of the forest, is that why she wears a fiery gold and red cloak?
