Camogie

On Saturday the under 12 camogie team had their county final.
We were playing Kildangan and they scored 2 points more than us.
It was the first time the Ballingarry under 12 camogie team were in the county final. We were disappointed to lose.

Maths Week

Last week was Maths Week.  For  Maths Week  4th, 5th and 6th class went outside and did a Maths Trail. Everyone was broken into groups and there were 6 sections to do. Everyone took turns to do each section. We had to find the area of the prefab, find how many footprints were painted onto the ground and lots more. We had lots of fun.

Limericks

There once was a young man from Mayo

Who nobody wanted to know

He brought bad luck                                              

And always got stuck

Especially during the snow

There once was a girl from Athy

Who got a bug stuck in her eye

She went to the doc

Who gave her a shock

And then the girl started to cry

There once lived a dog in Tralee

Who got stung by a big bee

He opened his mouth  

And let out a shout

And he was heard in Chile.

by Aiden Mullally 6th class

There was a young man from Chad

He ended out very sad

He prayed like a monk

On the top bunk

Because he was very, very bad.

by Nathan Maher, Fourth Class


There was a young man from Clare

Who dreamt he flew up in the air.

He jumped on a plane

Which took him to Spain

And no-one knew how he got there.

There was a tall girl from Spain

Who thought she was going insane.

She went out to sea

And got stung by a bee,

And never went back there again.

There was a young man from Chad

And a compass was all that he had.

So he travelled East

And then slayed a beast

But after killing it, he felt rather bad.

Many thanks to the parents and students who came out to support the St Joseph's N.S. Sponsored Walk today. A break from the showers ensured a pleasant walk for all. Thanks also to the Civil Defence who ensured that the event went off without a hitch.
