New School Year Mass

At 11:00am today we had Mass. All the students had to wear their full uniform. Fr Quirke said the Mass. Lots of parents came. Some parents brought their young children too. We sang four hymns. Lots of children said readings. Brónagh had the longest reading.
After that, eight children (one from each class) held a balloon. They each said their wish for the school and let the balloon go.
Then we went to the front of the school. We all counted down from ten and the new plaque was uncovered. I had a lot of fun today. I think everyone had fun too.

Today we had Mass in the Library. Father Quirke and some parents came. We sang songs and Josh, Brónagh, Órla, Adam, Isabell, Ronan, Emer and Andrew had to say a reading. They all read very well.
After Mass we went outside and eight people had to let off balloons. After that we went up to unveil the new plaque. It was a good day.

Today we had the New School Year Mass. We had to wear our full uniform. I read a reading of nine lines. We sang four hymns, the last one was a surprise. My mam came.
After the Mass eight students, one from each class, released balloons into the sky. We counted down and then watched until they were out of sight. We then went to the front yard to see the new school plaque.
