Cinderella and Rockerfella

This year we did a panto called Cinderella & Rockerfella. We had to audition
for what parts we wanted. I was the paparazzo. The show was on the 29th of March in Ballingarry Hall. The hall was full. I was nervous but I enjoyed it.
During the interval there was a raffle and my mother won a hamper. At the end of the show everyone got changed and went home. It was fun.
by Kaitlyn Waugh, 5th Class

On the 8th of February we had the auditions for our play Cinderella and Rockerfella. I was nervous about the auditions. I was the last one to sing the first song but it was grand. On the next Monday we got our parts and scripts. I was......Fairy G....that's G for Godmother. I was on in Act 1 Scene 7. It was really fun and I had a great time.

Playing for Tipperary

Last Sunday, the 11th of March, I went into Semple Stadium to play at half time in the Tipperary and Cavan and Tipperary and Galway matches. I had to go to the Dome at half twelve to find out where I had
to sit and get changed. We sat in the V.I.P. area. Ten minutes before the first half was over we had to organise the teams. I played with North Tipp. We played football first. When it was over we had to wait around a hour till we played the hurling. In the hurling we played the South. when the match was over we had to go back to our parents to watch the second half of the Tipperary and Galway game. I had Great fun.

Poetry

DREAMS

When night is here
Past the bright sun beams
Then the hollow night
Fills up with dreams

Babies dream of food and sleep,
Having attention and will to weep
Birds of swooping through the air
And lions of catching a tasty bear

Poets dream of histories past
And cars of being oh so fast
Explorers dream of clues and facts
And farmers of some lush grass

Fish of water
Out at sea
What's your dream
Can you tell me?

by Aiden Mullally 6th class

Dreams

When dusk is done

And grey has gone

The birds will dream

And sing a song

The dogs will bark

The wolves will howl

The humans will dream

And see an owl

Fish swim,

They have a race

While fathers sing

 A song of grace

So when you sleep

Don’t be scared,

Snuggle up tight

And hug your bear

By Zoe Maher, Sixth Class
