Characters from ‘Albert and the Magician’.


My favourite Character is Fionnuala. I like fionnuala because she is always pretty. But I don’t like her sometimes because she is mean to Albert. And I loved the end because she got in trouble. But she was still a big sister. She could have helped him once or twice. And in one part she was pretending to be nice to get Albert scared. Fionnuala was very proud about her pretty pink little nose. She used it to say something most of the time. Albert called fionnuala pudgy smarty pants! Fionnuala made Albert scared about the magician. She said
He would take away seven year old boys! BY REBECCA KENNY.



My favourite character is Albert. Albert is my favourite character because he is the one the story is about and because he is funny. The thing I like about Albert is he thinks the magician is going to turn him into a frog but he is turned into a hero! But my favourite bit with Albert is when the magician pulls three coins out of Albert’s ear. I think it is the best part of the book. I hate the bit when fionnuala lies to Albert! By Julius Ballegaard.

Albert and the Magician!

We read a novel called Albert and the magician .This is about a boy called Albert. Albert is afraid of magicians and one comes to his school!
One day Albert was at school and the head master Mr. Curry (His nickname is the chicken) told the whole school to come to the assembly hall. So they all went into the assembly hall and he told them that a magician was coming to their school soon and they were all to bring in fifty pence. Albert was very confused because he did not know what a magician was!
When Albert got home he asked his big sister Fionnuala what a magician was. She told him that a magician was a man that went around taking 7 year old boys and he brought them to a far away land and if they shouted for their mamas they will not be able to hear them. Otherwise they would turn them into frogs.
Albert was very scared that night because of what Fionnuala said to him. In the morning Albert had eggs. His brother the twins had eggs as well but he threw them on the floor!!! Then he opened the danger press and was about to drink poison. Albert saw but didn’t say anything then mammy turned around and saw and asked Albert why he didn’t say anything. Albert said he would like to give his magician money to the third world. After school Albert’s dad said that they will give him another fifty pence again so he can see the magician because he gave his money to the third world.
When Albert was at school the magician came on his dirt bike. He had lots of boxes and bags. Albert didn’t know that the little man was the magician. The magician asked Albert to take some boxes to the hall. On his way the bag talked to him. Later on the magician told Albert to come on stage. Then he put him in a box and said some magic words. Albert came in the door and everyone jumped to see him! Then the magician called him to do another trick. Albert was not sure if he should go up but he did and the magician gave him five fifty pence pieces! Then the chicken saw Fionnuala sticking out her tongue at Albert and he gave out to her. She had to go to his office after the magician was gone home. Fionnuala was in lots of trouble in the end!

Girls Camogie


On the 5th of March 2009 the girls from 3rd, 4th and 5th class went to Ballinameela to play a Camogie tournament. There were five teams Aglish, Modeligo, Kinsalebeg, Coolnasmear and Grange. There was a draw at the start to see who would go through to the semi-final because we couldn’t all play each other. Aglish won the draw so we went straight into the semi-final. We then played Modeligo in the semi-final. We lost by one goal. The final score was 3-2 to Modeligo. The people on our team were Maggie, Anita, Naomi, Rebecca, Lorna, Elaine, Chloe and Megan. The over all winner was Coolnasmear. We had a great day.

He said how ever much land the cloak covers is how much land she could have. St Brigid took off her cloak and laid it on the ground.The cloak got bigger and bigger.Therefore St. Brigid was able to build the church.

St. Brigid
A long long time ago there was a girl who loved talking to God. Her name was Brigid. Then one day Brigid had an idea. She decided to build a church. She travelled far and wide to get to the Chieftain to ask for land. When she got there the chieftain asked her what did she want? She asked for some land. The chieftain did not want to give her any. Then the chieftain had an idea. He said I will give you all the land that your cloak will cover. Brigid knew that the cloak would only take up a small space. Brigid took off her cloak. The chieftain was surprised the cloak was growing bigger and bigger and bigger. Brigid had enough land to build her church. Everyone was happy.

St Brigid

The Hasbro Decorations


On the 16th of December five people from our classroom got picked to go up to St. Georges Court in Waterford City. The school had to make decorations to hang on the Christmas tree in Waterford. Every decoration that we brought was hung on the tree and every decoration that was hung tree Hasbro were giving a board game to a children’s charity. The five people were Claire, Julie, Liam, Mark and Naomi. Breda and Kathleen brought us to Waterford. When we were finished hanging up the decorations we had our photograph taken by Kathleen and Breda. We were given lollipops for everyone in the school and we sang a Christmas song for the lady that worked for the Hasbro Giving Tree. When we were hung up the decorations we went to Burger King to get something to eat. After that we went home. When we arrived back at school we told everyone about the trip and gave them their lollipops. We had a brilliant day we hope we can participate again next year.

Our 4th Green Flag

Our 4th Green flag was based on Transport. We had to try and get people to cut down on CO2 emissions, ways of doing this was to get people to walk or cycle short distances. We tried to get people carpooling. For a week in every term we did a transport survey. We encouraged as many as possible to walk or cycle to school. We got all our families and the community to become involved in reducing our carbon footprint.

All our hard work paid off when the Minister for environment and local government Mr. John Gormley hoisted our 4th Green Flag in June 2008. We also prepared a power point presentation of our progress in the last 8 years. Mr Gormley gave a speech after the power point. When he had finished his speech, Junior Infants presented him with the flag and they got their photograph taken with Mr. Gormley.

All the pupils, teachers and parents and relatives went outside to see Mr Gormley hoist our 4th green flag. When he had hoisted our green flag we went inside and the adults went into the hall for tea, cakes and sandwiches. While the pupils went down to a classroom where we were allowed watch a film called Mr. Bean’s holiday. We were given orange and a packet of crisps we were also given buns and biscuits from the hall. We were then allowed to go home with our parents when they were leaving. It was a very successful day.

The Rainbow Spinner


On the 6th of November we came into school and the boys went to a match. Sir said we were going to do an experiment on the rainbow spinner. He gave us a piece of cardboard each. We used our compass to draw a circle 5cm radius. We were put into groups of two. The two groups in sixth class were Mallaidh and Julie and Bridgette and Claire. Sir gave us two wires, a battery and a motor. We had to make a circuit so we joined the two wires onto each side of the motor and the battery on the other sides of the wires. That made the motor move. We then put the rainbow spinner on top of the motor and it spun around. The colour we saw was white because white light is the seven colours of the spectrum. What we were trying to prove here is that the seven colours of the spectrum made white light. Nobody knew if this fact was true so we experimented on it. It seemed that it is true. Every one was amazed. Now they knew what was going on and they understood that the seven colours of the spectrum make white light.
