Things go Batty in 6th Class!!!!


Raymond Stephans, a Conservation ranger with Galway County Council came to talk to us about Bats! We learned all about Long -eared bats, Pipistrelle bats, Daubenton's...to name but a few! It was really interesting and we will put some more information up on our blog after Halloween. We had great fun looking at the bats and the equipment Ray brought in.  Have a look at some of the photos our class photographers took!!!

Upcoming Ballet Show

It all began in Corrib Dance Academy in September when my ballet teacher told us that we were going to have a ballet show at Christmas.
The first half of the show is going to be fairy tales and the second half is going to be French ladies.
I’m in 3rd grade in ballet and 4th grade in modern dance.
I’m going to be doing all 6 shows now that I’m in 3rd grade.
I am the evil sea in ballet and a French lady in modern.
Rachel Quirke is also doing the ballet show. Rachel is the Good Sea in ballet and a Girly girl in modern dance.
My ballet teachers name is Trisha and she is a great ballet teacher.
She pushes us to do the very best we can do.
I love my dance!! I would say it is really going to be a fantastic show.
I’ll let you all know how the show goes.

Movie Review By Lauren Roberts

                                        
FRED: THE MOVIE 

FRED Figglehorn started of as a guy with a high pitched voice on YouTube. He became a YouTube phenomenon, known all around the world. In his videos FRED (played by Lucas Cruishank) has to deal with an evil bully KEVIN (played by Jake Weary)!  FRED: the movie is basically a movie of his videos. When Fred Figglehorn tries to invite next door neighbour Judy (played by Pixie Lott) over to sing, he discovers that his crush Judy has moved so he goes on a quest to “save her” He is heartbroken to find that she is having a party at her new house and didn’t invite FRED! Heart broken FRED plans an imaginary party with the help of his best friend Bertha (played by Jennet McCurdy). In the end it all works out. 
WARNING: FRED is definitely not for the faint hearted as there is a lot of screaming!!!
FRED is for aged 12!
