' Dear Readers,
It feels amazing to be in 6th class as Ben has been in Rockboro since Preschool and Holly has been In Rockboro since Senior Infants so both of us have spent most of our lives in Rockboro Primary School. We have worked our way up to J6 together. http://www.rockboroschool.ie/wp3/
In 6th class we get the pleasure of minding Junior Infants when we go to the swimming pool in Leisure World , Bishopstown, Co.Cork.
Ben’s bus buddy is Toshiaka and he is from Japan. Holly’s bus buddy is Pearl. We take them on the bus to the pool every Friday. https://www.leisureworldcork.com/locations/leisureworld-bishopstown/
In 6th class we receive school Blazers . We wear them for special occasions such as the Lord Mayor's visit. We also have the luxury of school lockers so that we don’t get nervous about having lockers in secondary school. We recently got our black school blazers with the Rockboro Crest on the lapels.
We are the only Primary school which has Public Speaking on our timetable .The public speaking lessons prepares us for the end of the year speech and for the future. Our public speaking teacher is Mrs Healy. Mrs Healy picks a topic each week . Here are the titles of our speeches the past 4 weeks :
The first cake sale of the year was in the J4 class with Ms McCarthy. All the cakes were delicious and they raised €250 for their class equipment and resources. Ben won a cake in the raffle (Yipee) :)
It is the first year Rockboro primary school has done a kids blog. It is great fun to do and we will continue to blog during our school year.
Thank you for reading our blog , hope you enjoyed it!
Yours Sincerely
Ben Horgan & Holly Rea
