Dia Duit   ( Hello )  Many thanks for including us in your wonderful project.   We had great fun storytelling and painting and drawing in our art class.

Our favourite fall books are:
Jimmy and the Banshee by Dan Kissane (OBrien Press)     
Max and the Haunted Castle by Jeremy strong (Macdonald Young Books)
Neptunes Ghost by Caroline Repchuk (Paragon Press)

 Our names are Richard and Seamus.  Our school is Shelagh N.S. It is a small school in the countryside outside of Dundalk in Ireland. At Halloween in my school we have great fun. For a few weeks before Halloween we work on our magazine. It has pictures games and stories we play all kinds of games.  Nearer to Halloween we have a party we bring in sweets and play hanging apple and dress up in costumes. And then we have a few days off school.      

Here is our class poem about Fall. We called it Samhain which is gaelic for Halloween. 

When we finished writing our poem we made a wall mural about Halloween and put on the Irish words for everything to help us with our Gaelic. It was great fun and then we found out about Halloween in Ireland 6000 years ago when the Celts lived here. We put what we found on our website with our stories. Be sure to pay us a visit and leave a message. Bye for now (Slán go foill).
