Story by Rian Gill. 6th Class. Mr. C. O’Muircheartaigh.
Hello my name is Rian Gill. When I grow up I want to be an astronaut.
The reason I want to be an astronaut, is because, when I was a baby I sued to draw pictures of spaceships flying to the moon. The main people who inspire me are Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin. They inspire me because they went to the Moon like I want to do and I think they are really brave.
When I grow up I would love to see the Appollo 11 spaceship. My brother is doing the course I would like to do.
One of the famous people who do what I want to do is Neil Armstrong. I think he’s an amazing person. He inspires me the most out of anyone. Someday I hope to be any bit like him. If that happens my dream will Be accomplished.

Feasts and Festivals
Poem by Rian O’Neill 6th Class Mr. C O.Muircheartaigh
Feasts and Festivals, how lucky are we, with lots of occasions to fill with glee, People together and having fun Lots to celebrate with everyone.
Saint Patrick’s Day comes once a year, Shamrocks, parades and lots of cheer, In Killorglin the puck goat is king, With funfair, stalls and songs to sing.
August brings the Rose of Tralee Lots to do for you and me, Roses and escorts in The Dome, Which for one week becomes their home.
Halloween comes to our delight, Ghosts and goblins to give us a fright, Christmas comes with great joy, Celebrating the birth of a baby boy.
Feasts and Festivals where would we be, Without you to bring us such glee.

My 3DS Adventure
Story by Kieran Horgan 2nd Class, Ms. Ni. Suilleabhain.
I was in my room, about to start playing my new Zelda game on my 3DS. I saw a cool new button I never noticed before and I pressed it. Suddenly colours flashed on the screen. A swirling vortex of light sucked me into the game. “Where am I” I gasped. Then it hit me. I was in the game. I looked up and saw a screen in the sky, through it I could see my bedroom and my brother Jonathan sneaking around my room looking for my 3DS. Finally, he found it and started playing it. “Help help me” I yelled, but Jonathan couldn’t hear me. He made me walk all around the plains of never ending grass. Soon it would be dark I thought. Jonathan must have been having the same thought as me as I was commanded to perform the sun spell.
I took out my magical wooden flute and did it. Soon I came upon a small village. The villagers had heard of my magic flute and begged me to use a wind spell on their floor mill, because they didn’t have much wind this week. The villagers were over the moon. They decided to hold a feast in my honour.
They also said that they could help me get home. They gave me tons of rope. I knew exactly what to do . I tied the rope onto an arrow and shot it at the screen in the sky. I started to climb the rope. Jonathan could not believe his eyes when I started to come out of my 3DS. He was so scared he never set foot in my room ever again.

Have Hope – Will Minnie ever find a home Story by Tia McNabb, 5th Class Ms. S. O’Neill.
I walked into Battersea Pet Store on Friday 20th November, when a small frail spaniel caught my attention. “Abused”, the owner of the store, Jacqueline said to me. It flinched when I touched it. Of course the owners were arrested for animal cruelty. Seven years in jail. Jacqueline finished. I looked down at the poor puppy. Its eyes bored into my skull as if it were trying to tell me something. “What gender is it”? I ask, while admiring the rest of the store. Female, her name is Minnie, Jacqueline replied. “The poor thing” I say softly. I know a person who got badly beaten as a child. And it took him a few years to finally trust me. There was an easy silence in the shop, only the sounds from outside could be heard. I glance back down at Minnie. She looks up at me and whimpers. “ Go on”, urged the voice in the back of my head. “Adopt her, you know you want to “. I badly wanted to, but what if I couldn’t manage her. What if I became the monster her previous owner was. What if I’m not mature enough?.
What if -- I’ll take her. I smile before I could change my mind again. “Brilliant”, Jacqueline says enthusiastically. “Now all we need is to sort out her microchip”.
Two years later, Minnie is interacting with people brilliantly. I have to admit, she was shy at first, especially with new surroundings, but now she gets on fine. I also got another dog named Jacob. He was also abandoned on the side of the road . I took him to the authorities and they said I could take him. I was very happy because Minnie isn’t so lonely. I guess she always dreamed of having a home. I guess you just got to Have Hope.

The Cookie Thief and the Detective Story by Shadia Repon 5th Class, Ms. Ryan
Hi, my name is Lizzie Emma O’Sullivan, aka , Ms. Popular. I am 13 years old and I study in High School Academy. I have a brother named Joe who is 3 years old. I live with my mom and Joe in a mansion called Apple Vile. Anyway, forget about all that, let me tell you a story about a Cookie Thief and the Detective. Last week Monday 18th of May, 2015, this happened.
Joe loves cookies so we went to the supermarket to buy some cookies. We rushed through the food columns, we couldn’t see any boxes of cookies. Then something caught my eye, of course it was the cookie piled boxes. We pushed passed a lot of people, finally we were there. After a while, I realised Joe had disappeared. I searched everywhere, I couldn’t find him. Then I went back to the cookies and saw Joe climbing the pile of cookie boxes. Suddenly a gust of wind blew in and knocked the cookie boxes. The manager came and thought Joe knocked everything over. We had to buy all the boxes of cookies.
At home I couldn’t put any of the boxes in the cupboard. That’s why I had to keep them in one of the guest rooms. For breakfast, Joe had cookies, lunch cookies and dinner cookies. The next day when I woke up, I went to the kitchen . 10 boxes of cookies was gone. I shouted “Joe”. Mum came running in.
Who ate all the cookies? I said in an angry voice. “Not me, I was sound asleep” Joey said tiredly. It was a mystery , a big one. Wait a minute, I love being detectives. I’ll be a detective and solve this mystery but first breakfast, then school. Since it was a Friday, I have the weekend to solve the mystery.
In school I was thinking about the cookies. When and How did they do it so fast. Mrs. Smith my teacher said; “Ever one take out our test copy”. “What test are we doing today? I asked my friend. She said “The one about Ms. Yum Yum in the A.W.W. Oh no I forgot to revise. Suddenly Ms. Smith fainted and we all went home early. Phew! After I got home I started investigating.
I looked in every corner, I looked closely at the finger prints. After two days, I finally solved the case. I gathered everyone in the TV room and I began to say “ I have been searching, taking close looks and figuring out who might have eaten all the cookies”. And now I can tell who ate them, the person who ate them is .....Daisy the Cat !. Mum laughed. Joey felt grumpy but also laughed. We took Daisy to the vet just in case. Lizzie.

The Shadow Stalker Story by Jack Cronin 5th Class, Ms. Julie O’Sullivan Some years ago, on a dark and stormy night, I could hear the dreary moans from the Willow trees around my old country style house. I walked up the front porch and wandered inside the old decrepit house. After I lurked around the lounge and the kitchen I went upstairs to see what I could find. Suddenly the attic door that was opened slammed shut. I climbed up to the attic to see if I could find some old photographs that we had stored up there. The air in the attic was very dusty but I could see some of the photographs and I picked them up to study them. When I looked closer, me and my family weren’t the only ones in the pictures; there were a pair of eyes peering down at us from the attic in the pictures ! I wanted to run as far away as possible at that moment, but I could see more stuff. I found a pair of binoculars underneath an old mattress and some photos of my family that we never knew had been taken. Someone must have been stalking us the whole time we lived in that old house. All of a sudden, I could hear eerie noises too hard to explain. I ran down the stairs into the hallway and out the door into the cold night. I nearly froze to death it was so cold outside.
I ran to the edge of the hill right above some dangerous jagged rocks scattered around the wet marshy lands. I stopped running but I wish I hadn’t because I spotted a tall shadow and its cold hand reached out and pushed me down the cliffs. I remember laying there for an hour, trying to get to my feet after I hit my head off a rock. Finally, a bunch of people from the village square ran to get help. I felt extremely dizzy. I skinned my knee and broke my collar bone, but while people were helping me, I could still see that shadow standing at the top of the cliff waving and laughing down at me. I remember the pain and the fright and I still have dreams about it, that laughing and waving. It took a while to recover and I didn’t tell anybody because I didn’t want it to be public news.
I went to the sight of my old countryside house again, and this time I would be prepared. I went to the attic but found nothing except for a few more photos of the family scattered over the room. I still wanted to leave but I wanted to find out what was going on at the same time. The mattress was gone and the photos he had taken of us were gone as well. I decided to go back to my apartment in the city. While I was walking back to get in my car, I heard footsteps behind me and a laugh that made me stop dead in my tracks. I started to run but panic started to take control of me. I hopped into the car and drove away, but as I was driving, I spotted the same shadow on the sidewalk, waving and laughing.
I never went back to that house, but as I said before, I still have dreams of that experience to this very day. The End.
