My Communion by Erin

My Communion

On Saturday it was my 1st Holy Communion! I had 40 people coming to my house. First I got dressed, then had breakfast. Next we went to take photos. Then we went to the church. We gathered together in the chapel at the rear of the Church. We were preparing to go in a procession to our seats.

I was last, on my own! I was in the first group to go up on the altar! Tara and I sang the Gospel Acclamation. We prayed and sang and did the actions for the Our Father. Then I received Holy Communion. After mass, we went to the hall in Labane, for treats. Then we went home. I had to take more pictures! I got out of my dress straight after the pictures. I went on my bouncy castle slide. Then we had soup. I went back on the bouncy castle slide. We had spaghetti for dinner. Then we watched Annie. We had my cake for dessert. Everybody went home. On Sunday. Ellie, Ava, Edel and Erin came over. We went on the bouncy castle. Then they went home. My sister and I watched TV and soon it was time for bed.

I had the most amazing weekend!

The highlight for me was sliding down the slide of my bouncy castle in my garden!

My 1st Holy Communion by Clodagh

My First Holy Communion

On Saturday it was my communion. I was so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so excited. I got up at haft past seven. My dad brought me to the hairdresser at 10:30am. I got curls in my hair. The hairdresser was so nice. She gave me two flower clips to put in my hair. She also gave me lots of other little clips. When I got home I put on my communion dress. I fell like a princess! I got to eat a croissant before the mass. I got to sit in the front of the car.

When it was time to try the Holy bread. I never knew that there was a cross sign on the Holy bread. Its texture feels dry like cardboard. The taste is alright. My cousin loves the taste of it.

 

 

 

When the mass was over. My family and I went to Labone hall, After the mass we went back to the house. There were lots of cars outside the gate. I asked my mom to take off my dress. It was so hard to do anything to do in even to walk in!

The party was so much fun. I ran up the steps of the bouncy castle. Soon it was time for the cake. It was time for the cake. It was amazing. My Nana made a cake just for me, It said“ To Clodagh Happy Communion Love Nana!” I had an amazing day

Our Visit to Thoor Ballylee

Our Visit to Thoor Ballylee

 

On the 7th of May, 2015 the senior room went to thoor Ballylee for a poetry workshop. Thoor Ballylee used to be owned by the famous poet W.B. Yeats. He used thoor Ballylee as a summer house for him and his family. He wrote on a plaque that he restored the Norman Tower for his wife George.  Currently the tower has an extension which looks like a cottage. It is painted white and has green door, windows and shutters. The tower is beside the Streamstown River and is surrounded by woodland.
