Nollag

An Nollag

Oíche Nollag a bhi ann. Bhí sé ag cur sneachta amuigh sa gháirdín. Bhí a lán maisiúcháin ag crochadh sa sheomra suí. Bhí an crann Nollag maisithe go háilainn. Bhí trí coinnle ag

lasadh agus bhí na stocaí Nollag réidh. Bhí na páistí ar bís agus bhí siad nerbhíseach freisin. An dtiocfaidh Daidí na

Nollag? Phioc siad cúpla píosa cuillean agus chroch Daidí an cuillean ar na phictuirí sa halla. Ansin, chuaigh na páistí amach sa gháirdín agus thosaigh siad ag déanamh fear sneachta. Frosty ag ainm dó. Tar éis tamaill, chuaigh siad ar ais isteach sa theach mar bhi sé an-fuar . Shuigh siad os

comhair na tine agus thosaigh siad ag caint. Ní fhaca siad bronntanas faoin gcrann ó a sheanathair agus a sheanmháthair. Nuair a bhí siad te arís, chuidigh siad Mamaí ag déanamh maróg Nollag agus ansin, tháinig Daidí isteach le turcaí agus liamhás. Chuaigh an chlann go léir ina chodladh an oíche sin. Dhúisigh na paistí go luath ar maidin agus rith siad go tapa síos an staighre go dtí an seomra suí. Tháinig Daidí na Nollag aréir. Thosaigh siad ag súgradh le bronntanais go léir agus rinne Mamaí agus Daidí dinnéar na Nollag. Bhí lá iontach acu.

Allianz Sciath na Scol Final

How we got in the Final

Hello and this is Kayleigh Mulcahy reporting how “ how the girls Sciath Na Scol football team got into the county final”.  We lost against Carrigaline but luckily there was a playoff against Innishannon.  It was very nervewrecking because we thought we were going to be out of the competition.  If Eva Noonan didn’t get the final point before full time we could have been out of the competition.

Sciath Na Scol Final

Hello and this is Kayleigh Mulcahy reporting the Sciath Na Scol FINAL on the 19^th November. The final was played in Pairc Uí Rínn.  There were 500 supporters in Pairc Uí rínn. Miss Creedon was screaming her head off!!!! It was a  very exciting event.  My uncle said I was jumping up and down like a jack in the box. When my name was announced I was waving like mad.

How we lost the final

We played our hearts out on the 19^th November. We were literally whipped out the gate by Glounthane. They were the strongest team on the day. After the full-time whistle blew we were all bawling crying out on the pitch. Emily Cunningham , the captain was devastated. I gave her a big hug. Then I went over to Miss Creedon  and she gave me a big hug. Afterwards Glounthane gave us a guard of honour. Then we went up to receive our medals.

School Band - 5th and 6th class

The school band returned to after-school rehearsals this month following the big debut performance at the X-mas factor before the holidays. There was an enthusiastic crowd as the band performed 'Rolling in the Deep' and 'Merry Christmas Everyone' for the whole school and parents.
The school band was formed with Ms O' Shea in October 2012, and has since grown, including many instruments and singers. There are talented musicians and singers playing great music in this band. We now look forward to helping the Junior Infants for their Cor Fheile concert. The whole band is looking forward to it!

The Storm

I feared that my boat would break apart in the storm. The howling wind tore at the sail roaring like a pack of hungry wolves. The rain battered the hull as the steel grey sea leapt up trying to drag the hopeless boat down. Lightning illuminated the sky with blinding light; the waves pounded the side of the boat as I swayed and slipped through the green slick seaweed. My heart hammered against my chest, slowly creeping up my throat till I felt like I was about to get sick. I had to do something but I was hopeless in the violent crashing and smashing of the colossal waves. A titanic wave rose ahead and I braced myself, tears streaming down my face the salt stinging my eyes. The wave toppled and crashed on top of the boat, smashing the fragile structure to bits. The sea swallowed me whole, devouring any oxygen I had left. I thrashed in the churning ocean fighting for survival. I was dragged further underwater, I was soon about to lose this battle. A sharp pain erupted in my side, my lungs crumpled but my heart was still there. I pulled myself to the surface gasping as my lungs caught the sweet taste of oxygen. I clambered onto a broken piece of wood I would survive. Then everything went black. The storm was over later that day the sea was calm and the sky was an azure blue. The storm was over and so was my life.

What Happened in the Graveyard

This is a short story by Georgia Moore from Ms. Horgan's 6th class. Georgia is the Winner of the Halloween Short Story Competition that was held during Book Week.

She shivered as she clambered out of her car. Tendrils of fog wrapped themselves around her, binding her in their freezing grasp. Her eyes wandered nervously over the scene. She was in a graveyard. Crumbling tombs and headstones surrounded her. The eerie emptiness chilled her to the bone. But she knew, nervous as she was, that she couldn’t stand forever. She took a very hesitant step forward.
The drop in temperature was immediate. Her ears popped, goosebumps rippled up and down her arms. An icy wind roared through her brain. The world became a wide grey void filled with deep, rasping breaths, belonging to things that had once been human but weren’t any more. She gasped for breath, but the air she was breathing seemed to be freezing her lungs. She wheezed desperately, fighting for life.
And then, everything vanished. She was herself again. Her eyelids dragged themselves open. And there was a white figure treading silently across the frozen grass towards her. Suddenly, she found herself gazing into a pair of wide, caramel-coloured eyes. He stared at her. “Are-“ he paused. “Are you… going there too?” She nodded slowly. “Will we find it… together?” he asked hesitantly. She nodded again, but didn’t move. “Well… I think it’s this way” Her feet seemed to be made of ice. But she managed to put one in front of the other. Until they came to the forest.
She stopped abruptly. She hadn’t noticed him fall back in step. She turned around and caught a glimpse of his face, dreadfully altered. The skin had fallen away like plaster, the teeth were brown and rotting away, and the one remaining eye was bloodshot, with an iris as scarlet as blood. She didn’t even have time to scream as a black cloud descended on her. And then… nothing.
