My School in Stradbally

This is a story about my school, Our Lady of Mercy N.S in Stradbally. There are loads of jobs after being done to the school since I started there. The two classrooms have been painted, new floors, new sinks and new lights everywhere. We have new toilets and a new office, a lovely new floor in the hallway and display boards to display our work.

Our school is really safe. The doors close at nine-thirty and after that no one can get in unless they use the buzzer. We can see on a monitor who is at the door. In the playground there is a softplay area. You can run around and if you fall you won't get cut. On the tarmac we have pictures of snakes and a compass.

My school is a two teacher school. Mrs. Crowley teaches Junior Infants, Senior Infants, 1st and 2nd. Mr de Burca (that's my teacher) teaches 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6thclass. We do loads of fun things. We have our own vegetable patch where we plant our own vegetables. Last year the big girls did cooking with Mrs. O'Mahony. Hopefully we will be doing it this year. 5^th and 6^th class do French with Mrs. Crowley after school for six weeks. We also do football, drama, tin whistle, computers and buddy reading. At the moment, the builders are doing a bus bay. This will make it safer for everybody.
