The Incredible Hulk
It is a good day in New York. Danny Mac Coy is trying to replicate the super soldier serum. It was going smooth when a gamma leak occurred. The alarm went beep so all of the workers were evacuated except for Mac Coy, he was asleep in his chair. He breathed in the gamma, he had an angry dream, he transformed in to the hulk.
They called the army, the army was on patrol in the area, they had bomb ships. The hulk was rampaging in New York City. The bomb ships where launching bombs, they were hitting the hulk but he was too strong so the army burned to the ground like wood.
The hulk was ruthless, the army was strong but they were not winning. The hulk was the winning. The hulk went into hiding in Mexico, Spain, America and finally New York City.
The hulk went back to being regular Danny Mac Coy in the city of New York.

Silly Sports Day
A girl named Hannah and her best friend Sasha think they are both rubbish at sports day. On the day of sports day everyone was getting ready for all the events. Next the teacher said to everyone “ARE YOU ALL EXCITED!!!?” Everyone shouted “YES!!!!” Except for Hannah and Sasha.
Well, the class went up to the field to start the soccer penalties. All the girls knew that the boys were amazing at soccer so the girls had no chance. When it was Hannah’s turn she explained to Sasha that she was rubbish. “No you are not.” said Sasha, “You are amazing, you can do it.”
So when she was about to take the penalty Sasha distracted her so then she put it wide. But before Hannah could say a word to Sasha the teacher called Sasha over to talk to her. “Oh no!” said Sasha anxiously.
So then the teacher said to Sasha “Why did you do that?” “I don’t know.” replied Sasha. “Ok Sasha you are not taking part in the rest of the events.” “I don’t care anyway because I am bad at all the events.” “Ok then you will get homework tonight.” “WHAT THAT’S NOT FAIR” shouted Sasha.
A few minutes later Sasha went over to Hannah and said “Sorry Hannah, I didn’t know that it was going to distract you.” Hannah replied “It’s ok there’s always next year.”

My Awful Auntie
Long ago a little girl was born, her name was Emma. Her parents loved her more than anything. They loved her so much that they had a huge party, they had the whole family come over. Everyone was very happy except ....AWFUL ANNA!!!
Emma was now eleven and her parents were going on holiday. So she had to stay with her awful auntie for a whole week, and she had to eat cabbage soup for supper every night! One night Emma sprinted into her aunt’s bedroom and to her surprise she was not in her bed. “Where is she?” Emma cried. She looked everywhere for her. Emma was now really worried and scared. But just then she heard a rattle from the closet. Emma screamed in fright! Out jumped Awful Anna. “Did you miss me?” boomed the voice from the closet.
“Frightened you didn’t I” she shouted. Emma ran out of the room in horror. When she got back to her room she got a pen and some paper. She remembered her mum and dad being crowned king and queen, her aunt just sitting back on the chair when her father was being crowned but when the crown was placed on the queen’s head, Anna was shouting and roaring, she was thrown into the cells. “That’s it I have the answer”, Cried Emma.
Now all Emma had to do was speak to her aunt .The following morning Emma did speak to her and it was really worth it! Anna hugged her niece and from that day on Awful Anna was known as...BRIGHT BEAUTY!!!!

Trixie the Pixie
It was the 16th of the 8th and at Starlight Bridge everyone from nearby towns had gathered to get a glimpse of the shooting stars that started at 9pm every year on the 16th of the 8th.
This year Lily’s mom said Lily could go with her friend Summer because Summer’s dad was on a business trip and her mom had to work late. It was half 8 when they left the house because Lily and her mom lived 1 mile away from starlight bay which was were the bridge was.
“What time is it,” moaned Lily when they got there “5 to 9, just 5 minutes”, said her mom in an annoyed voice. “Look over there Lily, it must be the first shooting star, wow!” said Summer. In the next minute at least 3 more amazing stars came shooting down, but not one as bright as the first one.
Then something hit Lily’s leg. It must be some little kid’s toy thought Lily to herself bending down to pick it up but to her surprise it stood up by itself and said where am I. Lily still picked it up. “Put me down,” it screamed “What are you!” said Lily nearly screaming herself. “I am Trixie the Pixie and it is my birthday today, every year on my birthday all pixies go up to the clouds and because I am a princess the queen lets me and my friends send the stars down to earth. I always get to send the gold star down to earth first but just before sending the stars down to earth I ate a sticky toffee so when I was sending the gold star down to earth I got stuck to it and here I am now. “Will you help me,” “I would help but I don’t know how to,” Lily whispered. Trixie just laughed. “WHAT IS SO FUNNY,” boomed the amazed Lily. “It is just too easy to help me, that is the reason why I laughed.” “All you have to do is find the golden star, I could do it by myself but with you helping me, I will, well, we will find the star quicker than I would all by myself. Please will you help me,” whispered Trixie “Wait wait wait it’s that easy? Of course, yes I will help,” said Lily. “Great, let’s get started,” Trixie said excitedly.
They looked for a extensive amount of time. Lily told her mom that she wanted to walk around to see if there were any more shooting stars. “OK, just come back at 10 O’ clock,” said her mom. It was 5 to 10 when Trixie found a bright luminous light and shouted to Lily to look over were the light was coming from. “Is it the star, is it the star?,” chanted Trixie over and over again. “Yes it is, it is,” boomed Lily “but it is stuck,” Lily said this in her sadder voice. “Then pull until it comes out” said Trixie quite bossily. “I am trying ok,” at this point Lily was very annoyed with being bossed around. At last Lily managed to pull the star out of the sand.
“What will I do now,” asked Lily. “Wipe the sand off it, put me on it and do you see that cloud, throw the star towards it.” Lily did what Trixie said.” “Goodbye and thanks, look on your wrist,” whispered Trixie. Lily looked and saw the most beautiful gold charm bracelet. “By the way it is a magic charm bracelet,” finished Trixie.
“Thank you” said Lily waving. So Lily made her way back to her mom. “I told you to be back at 10 O’ clock and now it is 20 past 10, what kept you so long?” asked her mom “Nothing just met an old friend,” answered Lily “Ok then, let’s go home,” said her mom. So they went home. Lily would remember that day for the rest of her life.

Good Guy and Bad Boy
Once upon a time long long ago in a far place there was a good guy and a bad boy. They did not like one another. Good guy always saves peoples’ lives and bad boy did the opposite.
But he could not hurt people because good guy always stopped him, so he got very very angry. So he made a machine, it was called the dabaroney. Whenever he pressed the button someone got hurt. Good guy destroyed the machine and sent bad guy to a different planet.
Everyone lived happily ever after.

An Adventure Gone Wrong
My family and I are going to Cork for the weekend, but there is one slight problem. While we all think what to do, I came up with a GENIUS [not really] plan!Well, here is the problem, our car, yeah it broke down in the middle of the motorway. And to top it all off, all the petrol stations were CLOSED. So we all agreed to call the SOS and that’s exactly what we did.
Then we realized that when the SOS van came, it never picked up the car, it just drove off and ignored us. So then we had to call them again. Luckily, they were not the exact same people because if you really think about it, that would not have gone down so well.
Well it turned out that even though they sorted out the engine they STILL did not pick up the car. I was REALLY losing my patience right now, like at BOILING POINT.
But then Dad came up with the ACTUAL GENIUS {not really] plan. He thought that we should look in the boot of the car. So he did that and there he found PETROL!!By Darren Ryan

African Cub
It is a good day over in Africa. All the elephants are drying themselves in the smooth river after stomping all day in the dirty ground and lying in the mucky muck pool. Hippopotamuses heads are lying on the surface of the dirty river and the lions, “the lions!” The lions are hiding and peering through the long dried up grass waiting for their prey to catch and kill so they can feed to their cubs. But I can’t keep going on about the African species instead I’d like to tell you a real story.
Over by a leaning tree there are a family of lions. There is four cub’s (two male and two female) and two lions (one male and one female). The male lion is a fearsome lion. It trains everyday to be the leader of the lion pack. But the cub`s don`t know that. The cub`s names are Alfie , Milo, Melissa and Tina. Alfie is the curious one, he is always wondering why his father is going out most of the time. One day Alfie was talking to his mother and said “Mama were does daddy go every day?” “My dear, your father goes out every day to catch dear or fight off with other lion`s “said Alfie`s mother” ooooohhhhh!” said Alfie “but I don`t get the way daddy fight`s off!” said Alfie. “He fight`s off so he can be the leader of the pack that we are in” said Alfie’s mother” oh! But what will happen if he doesn’t win” said Alfie “ Then we will not be allowed to enter this part of Africa” said Alfie`s mother” Oh hear he comes now” said Alfie’s mother. A dark black and brown male lion came walking up to alfie and his mother. “I have some good news” he said to them.”I’m the leader of the pack!””That’s great!” said Alfie’s mother.”Yippee!” shouted Alfie “what?”said three small voices curiously. The rest of the cubs heard everything that their mother had said, but they hadn’t heard what their father had said.“Should I tell them.” whispered Alfie’s father” No I will.” whispered Alfie’s mother. So Alfie’s mother went off and told the three cubs who were thinking very curiously of what was going on. While Alfie’s mother is explaining to the rest of the cubs, Alfie’s father trend to Alfie”Alfie, my son, I don’t won’t to tell your mother yet but over on this part of Africa dear‘s are moving to a different part of Africa and our food from the tree running out of apples and oranges so, every animal in this part of Africa is moving to Ethiopia and I’m leading them and you my son is going to be in front of it” said Alfie’s father to Alfie ”Yippee!” shouted Alfie” what did you say” shouted Alfie’s mother.” Nothing” shouted Alfie and Alfie’s father.
A week later Alfie and his family are munching on delicious food. Until suddenly.....

Everyone Has a Right
If one flower was blue and a second flower was pink. I wouldn’t just pick one, I would have to think. 1. They both living. 2. They are both flowers. 3. They are both pretty. So I’d pick both. No matter where you come from, No matter what language you speak We are all human aren’t we. We all have feelings. We all have a right to live a happy life. We all have the right to have friends. So in life be fair, no matter whom you are. By Molly |

Nervous
If nervous had a colour it would be smoky grey, It would taste like a humongous gulp of salty water suffocating my lungs so I can’t breathe, It would sound like the voice of doom inside my head saying you will fail, It would look like a bleak, rainy day full of worry and sadness, It would smell like smoke burning down my gateway to happiness, It would feel like I’m trapped and can’t get out. By Sarah Blunnie – 4th class “This is RELIEF But then comes relief.... If relief had a colour it would be a light purple, It would smell like primroses were picked especially for you, It would feel like a humongous sack of rocks has been lifted off your back, It would taste like a spoonful of sugar that you crammed into your mouth, It would sound like your beautiful new puppy yapping and whimpering when out of its box, It would look like an amazing sunny day where flowers bloom and children laugh, And it makes me wonder why I was nervous in the first place! By Sarah Blunnie- 4th class Happiness If happiness had a colour it would be light green. Happiness feels like fireworks in my heart. Happiness is when a smile goes from one cheek to another. Happiness smells like fresh roses growing in glistening water. Happiness tastes like your favourite type of candy bursting in your mouth. Happiness sounds like cheerful people laughing and playing together happily. By Maria Wallace – 4th class Emotions Excitement is purple It tastes like sweet sugar pops plus chocolate ice-cream Happy is yellow It sounds like me bouncing It smells like pretty flowers It tastes like yummy cupcakes It looks like the nice and bright sun It feels like my birthday Love is hot pink It smells like freshly picked flowers It taste like sugary cotton candy from the fair It sounds like laughter all around you It feels like being so close that you can hear that person’s thumping heart Love is the passion that is shared with the world By Alex Reidy and Jordan O’Brien – 3rd class Colourful Thoughts Yellow thoughts make people laugh, Red thoughts hold bad stuff inside, Brown thoughts are bored out of their minds, Black thoughts make people fight, Pink thoughts make families stay together, Green thoughts make everyone have fun, Blue thoughts make you cry with laughter. By Jack Flavin, Josh O’Brien and Josh Malone – 4th class THE JOYS OF HAPPINESS Happiness is the feeling you get when you give someone something. Or the daily good deed many people gain happiness from. Some might say happiness is the happy smile on a loved one’s face -When they have not seen you in ages. I think happiness is whatever you think. Because happiness is happiness and no one can change that. By Darren Ryan – 3rd class Happiness All Around Happiness is bright yellow. It sounds like children laughing in the park. It smells like beautiful daisies in the garden. It feels like hugging a kind friend. It looks like a rising sun in the early morning sky. Happiness is for everyone to share. By Mia Moran and Saoirse Coleman – 3rd class Happiness Happiness is the rainbow colour of joy. Happiness smells like red roses. Happiness sounds like small birds chirping. Happiness tastes like lots of peanut butter jelly. Happiness looks like yummy jelly. By Alex Reidy and Jordan O’Brien – 3rd class HAPPINESS IS PINK It sounds like laughter and buzzing bees It tastes like melting chocolate in your mouth and is the best medicine By Brooke O’Gorman - 3rd class SADNESS SADNESS FEELS LIKE THE SHOCK YOU GET WHEN SOMEBODY YOU LOVED FOR AGES PASSES AWAY IT’S LIKE AN ELECTRIC SHOCK THAT STRIKES YOU TEARS AND TEARS ROLLING DOWN YOUR CHECKS AND YOU FEEL VERY VERY SAD By Lillian Mc Mahon -3rd class Excitement Excitement is the greatest thing that ever happened to you Excitement feels like you are going to the most famous place in the world Excitement smells like the rarest smell that you could ever smell Excitement sounds like the happy emotions coming out of your mouth Excitement looks like somebody making happy emotions with oneself By Luke Doyle and Tom O'Dea – 3rd class HAPPINESS HAPPINESS IS ONE OF THE BEST THINGS IN LIFE.

I wish that shooting stars count grant wished and erase our scars. By Jordan O’Brien – 3rd class Silliness Silliness is when you do jokes and laugh Silliness is when you go outside and eat a 99 cone Silliness is when you tickle each other. BY BOBBY CAREY- 3rd Class Frienemy Why bully and make enemies? When you can be kind and make friends! Making enemies just makes you frown, making friends turns that upside down! Bullying gets you into trouble, but when you make friends you can go to the park and blow a delightful bubble! Don’t be mean instead be a king or queen! So don’t bully, make friends, and you might end up writing a poem! By Sarah McAnespie – 4th class Everyone Has a Right If one flower was blue and a second flower was pink. I wouldn’t just pick one, I would have to think. 1. They both living. 2. They are both flowers. 3. They are both pretty. So I’d pick both. No matter where you come from, no matter what language you speak we are all human aren’t we. We all have feelings. We all have a right to live a happy life. We all have the right to have friends. So in life be fair, no matter whom you are. By Molly Danaher – 3rd class LOVE IS Love is when your little dog and cat jump up on top of you after a long day. Love is when your parents give you a tremendous hug. Love is to live laugh and love. By Lillian McMahon – 3rd class Happy is for brightness Happy is for brightness. It sounds like people chatting in happiness. It smells like beaming light coming down to your face. It tastes like people having stupendous fun. It looks like people laughing and having joyful fun. It feels like soft and sweet candy floss. By Grace Mc Inerney and Wiktoria Abram -3rd class Embarrassment Embarrassment is the colour red Embarrassment smells like dripping sweat Embarrassment feels like silliness Embarrassment looks like a red face Embarrassment sounds like gulping By Caoimhe and George – 3rd class Angriness Angriness is the colour RED It is a horrible feeling It sounds like lots and lots of people annoying you When people annoy you, you get mad So when you feel mad, think about all the good things in life and forget the bad things Count to three breath in and out and say you’re sorry to the person you hurt And then you and the other person might be great friends! So next time you feel angry think about it and you might feel better! By Saoirse Coleman – 3rd class Fear Fear is around us, it is with us when we are afraid. We always feel it in our bones shattering, making you scared, afraid, worried. Fear is a drop of sadness coming from your eyes and making you have the worst thought you ever had. Fear is a bad thought filled with so much worrying and unwanted emotions. By Luke Doyle and Tom O’Dea -3rd class EMOTIONS Angriness feels like a big black cloud Jealousy makes you want to scream out loud Sadness feels like a tragic time But luckily happiness is here to help you unwind Love is when the whole world comes together Laughter is when you get tickled by a feather By Vicktoria Kroejeva, Jenita VargheseV and Sarah McAnespie - 4th class L Sad and Happy Sadness is like a bitter and sour lemon It’s like a stormy night where the clouds cover the moon and waves crash against the wall like an eager whale trying to knock it down. But into each life some rain must fall, some days must be dark and dreary. But in all of the sad days when you feel like it’s just you against the world, there will always be a speck of light to brighten your day and make you smile - Like eating an ice-cream on a sunny summer day, and when someone tells you a hilarious joke it makes you feel like it is going to be a good day. So next time you feel bad think about the happy things in life and forget about the bad things in life. By Alice Kavanagh (4th class) and Molly Danaher (3rd class) |

3rd Class St. Brigid Crosses.
To celebrate St. Brigid’s Day and the beginning of Spring, 3rd class constructed some beautiful St. Brigid crosses out of rushes. Some crosses were large and some were petite. A few pupils even made three! The class were excellent at following instruction and this also linked with Procedural Writing which we are also enjoying at the moment. Well done all in 3rd class!

The Sound of Music
Art work in our class
3rd class had lots of Christmas cheer creating our Christmas Stockings using a variety of felt, ribbon and googly eyes. We had Christmas music playing in the background which really set the atmosphere. Here is a sample of how wonderful their stockings turned out!

3rd class really enjoyed working with a variety of materials to create these penguins. We cut out penguins from black card,adding white and orange. They also used googly eyes to complete the penguin. Then the choice of background colour was to compliment the penguin.

A Fascinating Trip to the Woods
Today all of third class went to the woods. Mr Lillis was showing us the different trees.
I saw a humungous oak tree in the forest. He showed us the beech tree, the sycamore tree, ash tree. He told us that they make hurleys from the ash tree. There were lots of leaves soaring to the ground and on the ground of all different shapes, sizes and colours. I found an acorn and Alex found a helicopter. I also found a minuscule seed, which I planted in my garden at home, it was a beech tree seed.
I liked that we saw the snowbell berry. I would like to go to the woods at night time and be petrified.

Manic Metamorphosis is occurring in 3rd class.
Dear reader,
Manic Metamorphosis is occurring in 3rd class.
Our 'cute' creepy crawly friends arrived by post from England last Wednesday. They have settled in very well to St. Senan's Primary School and are enjoying their new warm environment while eating and spinning silk.
These amazing creatures are in the process of growing to ten times their size before pupating.
Please watch this space for further developments!!
Yours Truly,
Creepy, Crawly, Spiky, Hairy and Chubby.

On Day 24 we released our fabulous fluttering friends to the freedom of nature. Before flying free our beautiful butterflies perched on some eagerly awaiting children before setting off on their phenomenal journey!

The magical moment of emergence occurred over the weekend!! In the butterfly net their diet consists of nectar-bearing flowers, fresh cut oranges, apples and old bananas. 3rd class have also made their own nectar mixture which involved mixing together 5ml of sugar with 100ml of water.
Tomorrow we release our beautiful butterflies. |

Day 21 and our butterflies have emerged!

It's now day 13 and all chrysalides are fully formed in the butterfly net. We now await in anticipation the emergence of our beautiful butterflies.
We are now at day eight of manic metamorphosis! All caterpillars are now at the pupating stage! Two caterpillars have fallen due to disturbances from their fellow caterpillars friends. Did you know that the chrysalides will wiggle or shake dramatically as a defence mechanism?! One chrysalis had to be gently relocated to the butterfly net yesterday due to it having fallen, resident classroom vets Keith and Seán carefully performed the procedure yesterday! Unfortunately the other fallen chrysalis cannot be relocated just yet as the three other caterpillars are in a 'j' shape pupating and cannot be disturbed.
Our caterpillars have grown so much! Once they have stored enough energy, they will climb to the top of the cup and attach themselves to the paper disc under the lid. There they will hang in a "j" shape, moult one last time, and harden into chrysalides. It’s now Day 6 and one of our caterpillars is at the pupating stage.

If I Lived in a Snow Globe..

If I lived in a snow globe
I would see snowmen prancing and dancing about in the snow. I would hear the reindeer on the roof stomping and rattling. I would feel myself ice-skating on the white delicate ice. I would smell the attractive scent of bacon and turkey. I would taste delicious yummy Christmas cookies. By Alice |
If I lived in a snow globe
I would see Santa and his reindeers shooting across the sky like a jet. I would feel the snowflakes falling on my face, an excitement I would definitely treasure. I would taste hot Christmas pudding which has just been lit. I would hear the wind whistling through the trees as reindeers strolled across the foggy woods. By Brendan |

The Day I Fell Down the Toilet
Saturday 13th of april year 3050
I was in the splendid ‘Romoco Movel’ car with my sisters Sarah and Maria. As usual we were fighting! We were going to a hotel.
When we got to the hotel I got the key while Sarah met up with Maria and they ran to the park. I went to our penthouse Veim. It was a phenomenal sight. It had a bar also so I got a glass of coke. It was delicious! I looked out the window, I didn’t see my sisters. I said ‘They must be downstairs.’ Halfway down the stairs I needed to go to the bathroom so I went back upstairs. I went into the bathroom and I lifted the toilet seat lid and closed the door. But Sarah had set a trap. She hid behind the painting and put a bucket of water on my head!!!!
I slipped back and the next thing you know I’m swimming with squids that just blinded me. I will get you back Sarah. I WILL!!1

The Day I Fell Down the Toilet
It was a lovely day but there was a lot left to do. Tom sat on the toilet for so long. Finally I got to go in! I was just about to get off the toilet seat when suddenly AAAAHHH I fell down the toilet! I went down the sewer. It was disgusting. I ended up in the sea. I swam and swam until I got to an island. I was very tired. I fell asleep. The next morning I started to swim. Twenty miles later I saw dry land. ‘Yesss‘, I said ‘I’m finally home.’ My mam was so worried about me. I didn’t have a good weekend after all. By Jack Patrick Hall, 3rd class, wrote this fantastic poem about his Team Hope shoebox.
The trucks with boxes are coming Emotions becoming greater Amazing coloured boxes Maybe I’ll get a fantastic surprise Hoping to get a cuddly teddy bear Oh WOW! Perfect! A cuddly teddy Elevations of happiness very high! |
