There are funny clowns in the circus.

I love to watch the cool acrobats perform.

There are lots of animals there too. I love to watch the magician doing tricks.

Sometimes you see dancing poodles!

I love going to the circus. The circus is great fun!

I went to the circus in France.

It was called 'Circus Gerbola'.

There were acrobats on tightropes there. I had delicious toffee popcorn.

I loved to watch the men bull fighting too!

My favourite part was when I saw people juggling fire in the air.

By Andrew O'Brien






I went to the circus when I was two years old.

I really liked to watch the animals act.

The clown made me laugh!

There was a cheeky monkey there too. I love going to the circus. The funniest part was when the lion bit somebody.

There are lots of animals in the circus.

I love to look at the clowns. They are so funny!

I really like going to the circus as I always have great fun there.

My favourite animal is a cheetah because they can run really fast.

5th Class-International Friendship Week!!

As February is International Friendship Month we held a Friendship Week in Scoil Niocláis from 31st of January to 4th of February. Throughout the week we explored the topic of friendship throughout the school in many ways.
One of the most popular activities is the "Secret Friend" for (1st class to 6th class) Each pupil received a “secret friend” for this week. Without revealing this name (to anyone!!), they made a very special effort to do something nice for this person each day for the duration of the week. On Friday (4th of Feb) each pupil “revealed” who their special friend was and accordingly brought in a small treat for them.

First and Second classes drew entered an art competition entitled "My Idea of a Healthy School", Third and Fourth classes wrote "Recipe for Friendship" whilst 5th and 6th classes composed poems entitled "A Friend is Like..."
