Badminton and Volleyball

Kenneth was our coach for badminton and volleyball. In badminton you need good concentration and hand-eye co-ordination. In volleyball we played games (matches) and we did drills. We used racket and a shuttlecock.We used a soft ball and a net. There was 2 people on each side for badminton and there was 6 people on each side for volleyball. For badminton you hit the shuttlecock over and back. For volleyball you send the ball over and back with you hands.We all had great fun through the 8 weeks.

THE HISTORY OF CHRISTMAS CAROLS

Our class is doing a history project about Christmas.Everyone got their own topic.My topic was 'The History Of Christmas Carols' this is a short version of my answer.

Carols were first sung in Europe thousands of years ago,but these were not Christmas carols they were pagan songs ,sung at the winter solstice celebrations where people danced round stone circles.The word 'carol' means dance or a song of praise and joy.Carols used to be sung in all 4 seasons of the year.This was changed by S.T Francis of Assisi when,in 1223,he started his Nativity plays.Now people go around to houses singing carols and sometimes they bring instruments.Even though it is very cold they still sing.

That is why we sing Christmas carols.

WE WON

Inagh National School website won the Eircom Junior Spider Awards. Ciara, Clare and I met Miss Blackwell at the Inagh bus stop at six o clock on December 17th. We got a train from Ennis to Dublin. When we arrived at Limerick we got a different train to Dublin, we had loads of fun on the train doing crosswords and quizzes. We had to get a taxi to The Helix. When we had set up our display we went around for a look at the other school websites. There are three different categories, Giga Spiders, Tiga Spiders and Grand Prix. There is three different awards in the three categories, 1.Best Class Blog 2.Best School Website 3.Best Concept. There was loads of different schools there. Aidian Power came over to see our website, we got a photo taken with him! We got to go upstairs to have some food. We also got to sit down for a half a hour on this gorgeous couch. After break we went in to the O Mahony Hall again to the reward ceremony. There was a magician there doing some tricks, he was really good. Then Aidan Power announced the winners, then WE WON. We got a goodie bag on the way out with; stationary supplies, notebooks and a little radio. We got another taxi to the station. We got a early train back to Limerick. We arrived in Ennis at quarter to seven. Miss Blackwell drove Ciara, Clare and I back to Inagh. It was snowing heavily and the roads were very dangerous. We really enjoyed the day.
