A fun day at bloom
Last Friday we went to Bloom. Bloom is a festival for your garden. It is held in Phoenix park in Dublin. Ms Keane, Kevin, Ms McMahon and 20 children in 5th class were chosen to go to Bloom. This year it was their 10th anniversary. It only took about an hour to get there. We learned that sweet potatoes are actually an over grown root or stem and a lot more. We got to taste lots of different foods and we met Enda Kenny and took some photos with him. Overall it was a great day!

Brian Kirk
This term an author, Brian Kirk came to fifth class. He showed us his book, The Rising Son. It was a very good book and very enjoyable to read. We were learning about The Easter Rising this year because it is the 100th anniversary.
He showed us pictures of The Easter Rising 1916 on the white board. One of the pictures he showed us was of a boy in front of the GPO. Then he asked us questions and got us to write a short story about it in 6 minutes. Half of the class wrote in 1st person and the other half in 3rd person. Some people read their stories out to the class and they were very good. This was very fun and would love another author to come back.

Senior under 14 div 2 win the final
Yesterday the Sallins senior hurlers won the division 2 hurling final. It was a tough match but Sallins just pulled away in the 2nd half. The pitch was a bit bumpy but it didn’t bother us. It was a great feeling being a part of the team. We were very grateful to win the finals. We had to beat five very good teams to win the final. The final score was 4-10 4-4
CHAMPIONS !
Brian Kirk is back to school !!!
Brian Kirk is an author and he published a new story called The Rising Son . He visited 5th class to talk about his new book. His book was about a boy who was living in 2016 and when he went to sleep he was in 1916. We were learning about 1916 this year since it was the 100th anniversary. He read a chapter of the book to the classes, we also did writing exercises and looked at pictures. It was very interesting and really fun , we all want to read the book because its about our own country’s history.
