I am happy to be back to school because I can see my friends and play soccer and Gaelic on the astro-turf pitch. That’s because we’re in Garrymore hall while the new classroom is being built in Gortskehy. When it is raining we can have a game of basketball inside. I like doing art with my friends – sunset art, mask art or the skeletons.

I really like working on the chromebooks. It’s good how we only use half of the hall for school so we can play basketball on the other half. I would rather be in the hall than being in the school but unfortunately we have to go back to school when the building is finished but that is in a few months so we are ok for now.

The best thing about being back at school is that we are not stuck at home with nothing to do. We can see our friends and talk to them after a long time off school. We are in Garrymore hall because they are building a new classroom in Gortskehy.

We create lots of art. We make Halloween art, sugar skulls and art to do with autumn. We also wrote Halloween poems.

We learned about different countries and did some artwork on them. We also learned about famous landmarks around the world. We play basketball in the morning and we play on the astroturf for lunch and P.E.

These are the things that are good about being back to school.

So, first, we are in Garrymore which is really good.  We have an AstroTurf pitch to play football and inside we have a basketball hoop to play a basketball match.

The next thing which is great about being back is if we stayed off school for much longer I would be brain dead! It’s good to see the lads again.

We start five minutes earlier in the morning so that we can finish a bit early at home time. This is because the bus picks 5th and 6th up at Garrymore Hall and then picks up everyone else at the school over the road.

Last, but not least, is that I’m in 6th class now so I’m closer to finishing primary school. It will be soon be time to start secondary and I’m looking forward to the next chapter!
