School Trips and Soup

6/15/2019

On the 13th of June, everyone from third, fourth, fifth and sixth classes went to Killary Adventure Centre for our school tour. The bus left our school at 8am in the morning and arrived in Killary at 9.30am.  We were put into groups when we arrived.
We took part in some excellent activities such as the giant swing, the climbing wall, gorge walking and raft building.  Lunch was from 1.00pm to 2.00pm. 
We arrived back at school at 6.30pm, tired but delighted. 

Soup Making

On Tuesday we made soup with Ms.Presnail and Ms.Gillon. We started making the soup early in the morning so it would be ready for lunch. We started by peeling the potatoes, parsnips and carrots with our peelers. The vegetables we used were dug from our school garden. It was hard work peeling vegetables but we persevered and boy was it worth it.
 
Tom’s granny had very kindly made gorgeous, fresh scones which we were able to share. Tom managed to have a full scone but in fairness he brought them in. The soup was top class, it was so nice, the taste of parsnip, which we had brought from home, was lovely.
 
We put all the chopped vegetables in a bowl and Ms. Gillon brought it up to the kitchen and started to make the soup. Ms.Gillon brought down the soup for us to eat before lunch. It was scrumptious.

Bumbleance

On Tuesday 11th of June, we supported the charity  “Bumbleance”. Our former football trainer Majella’s daughter Lily is going cut her hair for the charity. We wore our jerseys to school and everyone gave a donation. 

Athletics

On Friday this week we went to Claremorris Athletics Club to take part in a non-competitive athletics competition with other schools. There were races such as the 60m, 80m ,100m, 200m, 400m and 800m for boys and girls. hen there was a 60m hurdles race. There were also javelin, shot put and long jump competitions. At the end each school and all the teachers ran a lap. It was a great day.

The county final against Kilmovee N.S. started at 4.30 pm on Thursday, 6th June. The starting team was Patrick in goal, Daragh and Eoin in backs, Tom and Evan in midfield, and Jack and Luke in forwards.
 
The score at half time was 2-4 to 0-5 to Cross. In the second half Kilmovee came back to lead by 1 point. Tom scored a great point. There was one minute left and Tom passed the ball to Daragh who passed it to Evan. Then Evan shot and scored a goal and the crowd went wild!!
 
Kilmovee moved the ball down the field and then took a shot and we blocked it. Then they had another shot and we blocked that one too. Finally we got the ball and hammered it up the pitch. The referee blew his whistle and we had won the match.
 
We went up the steps to accept the Bank of Ireland Cumann na mBunscol trophy. Our captain Tom and vice-captain Eoin lifted the cup and we all received a medal. Tom made a very good speech and the crowd clapped loudly.
 
The last time the school won it was 2006. Stephen Morrin, Connor O Haire, Aidan O Sullivan and the rest of the lads brought the cup back to Cross that time.
 
Bonfires awaited us on our return to Cross.  We are all very proud.
