Sarah's blog on our trip to Castlebar

21/11/2013

0 Comments

 
Some of us girls from 39p went on a trip to Mayo with our English teacher Ms Cullen. It was a very long trip - six hours travelling in total! We arrived at the school at 5.45am. We were all like zombies. Most of us slept on the bus. 

We got to St. Gerald’s College in Castlebar at 9am. We went straight to the gym to out up the big CoderDojo posters. After a little while, An Taoiseach Enda Kenny and Minister Ciaran Cannon arrived at the school. There were a lot of photographers there along with RTE news. 

After the photos were taken, we made our way to the gym. We listened to the students play music. They were very talented. We listened to speeches from Mr. Kenny, Mr. Cannon, Ms. Cullen and Mr. Hyland. The atmosphere in the gym was electric. 

We were then given a tour of the technology rooms. The students and teachers gave us demonstrations of how they are using coding in their class. Blathin was interviewed by RTE news and she was excellent! 

A little while later we were treated to some yummy food in the staff room. We feasted on sandwiches and buns. Principal Hyland escorted us to our taxi at 12.30 and we set off on the road to Drogheda. We were very tired on the bus home! We had a great day. You can check out our pictures in the blog post below.

Europe Code Week

14/11/2013

Europe Code Week takes place on 25th - 30th November. CoderDojo Drogheda will be hosting an event in our school. We had local photographer, John Smith, up in our school to take some photos of us coding. As Irish Ambassador for Europe Code Week, Ms Cullen had to do a serious amount of posing (but we think she enjoyed it).

Romeo and Juliet... diary entry

28/2/2013

31 Comments

 
Romeo and Juliet is a tragic tale of love and loss. I cannot help but think that if Romeo and Juliet had just hashed out their problems with others, things may have turned out differently. 

In the comments section, I want you to pretend that you are one of the star-crossed lovers. Write a diary entry, in which you pour your heart out. Let your troubles melt away and hopefully we can rewrite this ending!

Olamide - Niagara Falls

A very clever poem from Olamide:

Her eyes glisten like the moon in the darkness - 
as bright as a diamond. 
Her beauty is incomprehensible.
I'm talking about my one and only:
Niagara Falls: I love only and truly...

Amy - Mother Nature

Amy's fabulous poem: 

As the trees sway,
on this sweet day.
The flowers shine up high, 
there isn’t a cloud in the sky.
Mother nature is calling,
the leaves have started falling.

Andrew - Call of the Wild

Here is Andrew's excellent poem ;)



I journeyed to Africa on a research trip
With sweat dripping off my upper lip
I was in a small place in the Kenyan town
With the heat so bad I had the windows down
I heard a slight scream in the bushes ahead
I thought it was a person but it was a lion cub instead
He was very hurt and I saw a bone
So I picked him up and brought him home
He grew up from a little child 
Then I released him into the wild
