turtle song
Been here for millions of years,
Swimming the seas and the oceans.
Why can’t we be left alone?
Gliding along in slow motion.
This species don’t want to die out,
If we can we’ll stay forever.
So come along and help out,
To take our eggs, you must never.
5th Class pupils from Sunday’s Well BNS.

camogie final
Clash, clash my head bangs against metal,
Helmets and hurleys at the ready
Blow from the whistle, I hear loud clapping,
Our match against Mayfield has started.
We hadn’t won the final,
But true companionship and team
Work on the day,
Had shone through.
My heat beats faster as we score our first goal,
Our team are all cheering
Smiles on their faces,
Show their determination.
Winning isn’t everything
We still have our pride
Next time we will run out on the field
With our heads held high.
Despair and disappointment as their sliotar
Bounces off the back of our net,
But instead of frowning we push on with passion.
Soon all was finished and jerseys in the wash.

eruption
Crowds correspond to launch toe-tapping leaps
As Corkonians take on Patrick’s Street.
Salute Father Mathew, on stone, yet keep
To the pace to catch the frolicking fleet.
Walked Lapp’s Quay among thousands of others,
Drizzle dared to dampen high occasion,
The bridge overlooking the Lee waters
Hid the non-known in snake like formation.
Sudden silence, distant banging of feet,
Brittle spine receives rush of shivershock.
Sudden occult, euphoria and heat,
All postponed statues awaiting unlock.
Hence, an eruption of rainbow-like light.
The ashes weigh through a moonlit, midnight.

la iontach ag siopadóireacht
An tseachain seo caite, bhi an bua ag mo mhamaí sa Chrannchur
Naisiunta. Thug sí 500 euro dom. Bhi an t-ádh liom . Chuaigh mo mhamaí
agus mise go Mahon Point. D’fhágamar an carr sa charrclós. Dúirt mo
mhamaí go raibh cead agam dul ag siopadóireacht i m’aonar.
Chuaigh mé suas an staighre beo go dtí an dara úrlar go dtí siopa
éadaí. Fuair me cóta nua. Bhi se go h-álainn. Bhi dath bán air. Ní raibh
aon chochaill air. Chuaigh me suas go dtí an tríú iúrlar agus isteach sa
siopa spóirt. Thosaigh me ag féachaint ar na bróga reatha. Bhi gach dath
ann-bán, glas, dubh, corcora, bándearg, dearg agus gorm. Bhí na cinn
corcora uaim. Chuir mé ceist ar an bhfreastalaí. Cén praghas a bhí orthu.
Dúirt si go raibh siad 40 euro. Cheannaigh me iad.
Ansin thosaigh me ag féachaint ar eadaí eile. Chuaigh me ar ais go úrlar
a h-aon. Bhí mo mhamaí ann. Bhí sí tar éis dhá fistéip a cheannach dom.
Dúirt me ‘go raibh maith agat’ léi. Chuir me an t-airgead a bhi fágtha agam
sa bhanc. Beidh me ag dul ag siopadóireacht lá eile arís.

Monday’s child is lovely and sweet,

Wednesday’s child is friendly and good,
Thursday’s child does what she should.
Friday’s child is honest and caring,
Saturday’s child is thoughtful and sharing.

my favourite memory
My favourite memory of fifth class was when eleven children in my
class went to Scotland with múinteoir Caitríona, Mairéad and Barra. It
was brilliant. We went to all sorts of places, like the Museum of Transport, the Science Centre and especially Hampen Park. I’ll never forget
our visit to Hampden. I learned so much. It was fascinating how much
history there is in soccer. The view of the pitch was sensational.
The Science Centre was also fascinating. They let us touch everything.
There were loads of experiments. There were experiments with vision,
hearing, smelling, sound and touching. A few of the Scottish children
went with us as well. I made lots of new friends. We also had a Céilí in
the school with our new friends. We danced and sang and had loads
of fun.
The hostel was spooky, as there were loads of sounds we didn’t recognise
but we had loads of fun all the same. There was a games room and we
played a few games of pool there. On the Thursday we went shopping
wherever we wanted. We had dinners at pizzerias and restaurants.
Go raibh míle maith agaibh a mhúinteoirí.

It’s got mountains and rocks, but fishing’s the thing.
With sparkling water and to hear the birds sing.
Not soccer this time but fishing I’ll be,
I don’t care about you, ‘cause the smile is on me.
Its seven o’clock the grass it is green,
Lord! It’s the most wonderful morning I have ever seen.
The sun has risen above the hill
The rod dips down, oh what a thrill!!
What a beauty I’ve just hooked,
When we get home he will get cooked.
A few more casts then head for home,
Pack up our gear our day is done.
The sun fades gently in the west,
It’s time to go and have some rest.
Tonight in bed to sleep and dream,
Of great fishing on Lough Boffine.

the Cork princess
Once, in Cork, there lived a good princess. Her name was Fiona.
She was in love with a man called Seán Óg. She went to watch
him play hurling matches. Cork won all the matches. She hoped
he would see her in the crowd.
At last, Seán Óg saw Fiona in the crowd and fell in love with her.
They got married and moved into a castle in Ardcullen , Hollyhill.
They had two children. And they lived happily ever after.

This morning I was waiting for the bus,
These men were in a terrible rush.
They grabbed me by the hair,
And pulled me to the fair.
I tried to run out of there,
But there was water everywhere.
Coming towards me in a rush,
Pity it wasn’t the bus.
I ran away from the flood,
But then there was a man of blood.
I said to myself, “I’m going to be late”
But I couldn’t run that fast to the gate.
The men caught up,
I found a cup,
And smashed it off their heads.
They bled, and bled, and bled.
The water caught up,
I tried to collect it in a cup.
There I was lying in a pool
So that’s why I, Kayleigh Murphy, am late for school!
