Our Lady of Good Counsel GNS

Ferrybank, Waterford

Sixth Class have had a very busy day today. We attended 10  o clock Mass today to mark Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent.

When we got back to the classroom, we had our Valentine’s Verse competition.  The girls were asked to finish “Roses are Red, Violets are blue……” and they had to make it as “sickly sweet” as possible. Our winner was Rosa, who won it by class vote, not just on the content but how she presented it.Here is the winning verse:

Roses are Red

Violets are blue, 

When I count to two,

I will kiss you.

 

Rebecca also won a prize for her lovely, heartfelt poem.

Daffodils grow very Spring

Roses bloom just like my love for you

It gets bigger and bigger each year

and in Spring we watch the flowers bloom.

I really hope it stays this way

Because I love no-one more than you.

 

Finishing touches were also put on some of our Valentine’s card. Some lucky people received theirs early this morning while for some, there is a surprise ahead!!

 

In the afternoon, the girls presented the project they had been working on with the title”The Best Invention Ever”. The girls did great work on their posters but also a great job at presenting them to the class. They all spoke very well and gave lots of extra information.

Best Invention Project included Stents, Medicine, Antibiotics, Penicillin, the telephone, the mobile phone, headphones, boats, computers, aeroplanes, cameras, braille, Morse Code, television, chocolate,Wifi, trains, electricity, clocks, paper and the onesie!!

Hope all the girls in 6th Class enjoy their Mid Term break and come back happy and safe on Monday 19th February!!
