3rd and 4th were invited on a tour of Dalymount Park, home ground of League of Ireland club Bohemians. We met the club chairman and star Romanian striker, Christian Magerusan. We visited the dressing rooms, the stands and lots of other facilities. We made a display about what we saw, did and learned. We are very grateful to Shane, Paul and Carina for being such wonderful guides!

Well done to Alan in Sweetman’s Class who wrote this wonderful poem in class.
Dublin
By Alan
I suppose you think Dublin is a dirty old town,
With the weather and the crime bringing you down,
But on a sunny day it’s the best place to be,
You can go to the park or swim in the sea.
Born in Dublin, here for life,
One day here I’ll meet a wife,
Wherever I go, wherever I roam,
I will always be happy to call Dublin my home.
Each day Mr Smyth’s Class catch up with what is happening around the world by watching News2Day on RTE2. Every week the show poses a “Question of the Week”.
This week’s Question is: “What makes a good school?”
Here is the answer from 1st Class, which we emailed into the News2Day show. We hope they read it out! Check out their answer below….
We believe there are many things that make a good school. We believe our school is great school. We have new and exciting yard games, we all encourage good friendships between pupils and have “friendship keepers” in our senior classes. We do exciting art in class, we use computer tablets in our reading hour. Each week we visit our school library with our parents. Finally, we plant watercress and peas in class and we have a beautiful school garden outside. We love our school!
