Last Friday, I won 2 Cups and 5 medals in the Connacht Dancing Championships. I did two heavy shoe dances and two light shoe dances. I got lots of photographs taken and I stood on a podium.

On Wednesday 19th January, 3rd class did a badminton lesson in the halla after school. We were supposed to do volleyball but the man who was coming to do volleyball couldn’t come because he was sick. So we did badminton instead. To play badminton, you need a long high net, a racket and a shuttlecock. You hit the shuttlecock with the racket over the net and the other person hits it back to you like in tennis. We liked doing badminton a lot.

We will be doing tables, spellings, Flickr Lunes and apps on the iPods. Our teacher knows another teacher from Twitter going to the conference. We are really excited.
