Trips

2010-06-28T18:59:00.003+01:00

Today Ms Stewart's Class went on a tour to Clondalkin Sports & leisure centre. There were lots of sports like: rock-climbing , absailing, orienteering, archery & swimming. It was great fun. 4th Class went to the aquatic centre in Blanchardstown followed by bowling and q-zar in Leisureplex. Everyone had a great time.

We have only one more full day in school as we are getting our summer holidays on Wednesday.

2010-06-27T18:36:00.002+01:00

There was a graduation ceremony on Friday at six o'clock for the sixth class pupils. Father Finbarr Nealon , a past-pupil of Joey's said mass in the school hall and afterwards there was speeches and refreshments. All the parents attended. There was a slide-show of photos of the boys in sixth class over the past five years. It is sad to say goodbye to a brilliant little school. I hope secondary school will be as good.

Friday was the awarding of certificates to winners of D.F.L (Discipline for learning) in Joey's school hall. There were bronze, silver, gold and platinum awards. The parents were invited to attend.

Farewell

2010-06-01T19:30:00.004+01:00

It is with great sadness that I have to say that Mr. Caulfield is leaving Joey's.

Mr. Caulfield was involved in all aspects of the school.

From Groovy Blues to The Students Council & Blues news to Joey's Bloggers, he even managed to find time to teach! Everybody in the school liked him. So he will be greatly missed.

He is going to be a principal in another school. So our great loss is their gain.

Goodbye Mr. Caulfield, We will all miss you

2010-06-01T17:11:00.002+01:00

The Book Circle

2010-04-04T19:05:00.003+01:00

I go to the Book Circle every Wednesday. Every week we get a different book (when we finish the first one)
Every book is brilliant. My favourite book was The Guns of Easter
I also liked: Private Peaceful, 17th Martin Street & Tom Crean: Ice-Man.
A few weeks ago, we went on a trip to Easons Bookstore, O'Connells Street, Dublin.
We all got to pick out a book. I picked Percy Jackson & The Lightning Thief.
It is BRILLIANT!!! I am now on Percy Jackson & The Demigod Files.
At Christmas, we got a Ripleys Believe It Or Not Annual as a gift from the Book Circle
All together, I think the Book Circle is great!!!!

We have tested the new system in some classes. The "beta testers" thinks that it works great!!

3) To parallel the behavior system, we also introduced a reward system to the beta testers.
Each student gets a stamp book and are awarded stamps for different categories.
When they receive enough stamps, they get different prizes.

My Trip to Liverpool, by Ciarán Kelly, 4th Class.

2009-05-22T14:24:00.002+01:00

On Thursday 23rd of April we had an assembley in the hall. We did a concert for Ace Insurance, who were just finished helping decorate our yard. So, after the concert our principal Fanno announced the 4 boys who were going to Liverpool. We had found out a few days before the assembley. He announced the boys, we got a cheer, and went back to work.

On Sunday 3rd May we went to Liverpool with Mr.MacDonald, Mike and his son. We arrived in Manchester Airport at 11 o'clock. Then we drove to Liverpool. We stopped at McDonald's and got something to eat. Me, Steven, Matas and Thomas ordered chicken nuggets and chips. We finished our stuff, got back in the car and drove to Anfield. Mike parked in a car park close to Anfield and we walked up. Outside there was a man selling badges, scarves and caps. I bought a scarf for £7.

We went around the gates of Liverpool and we saw the Hillsborough Memorial. I took a few photos of it and then we went into Anfield to see the game. So, we went to our seats and I took a few photos of Pepe Reina warming up. Kick off was just moments away.

20 minutes away from the end of the game, Liverpool scored a screamer of a goal which made it 2-0 to Liverpool. In the 90th minute, Liverpool scored another goal and it was all over for Newcastle United.

After the game we returned to the car and drove to the LFC Shop in Liverpool city. Then we walked up the road to where The Beatles were discovered. Then we went to Eddie Rockets and I got chicken tenders and triple ice cream.

Then we went back to the airport to a shop that sold Manchester United, Liverpool and The Beatles stuff. I bought Man.United flights for my darts. Then, we were on the plane and went home. It was a great day out! THE END. By Ciarán Kelly

New Song by Dean Cahill, 4th Class

2009-05-22T14:19:00.002+01:00

Here are the lyrics to a new song written by up and coming songwriter Mr.Dean Cahill, 4th class in Joey's, formerly of The Groovy Blues:

Once in a Million
There's a one in a million chance you'll be a star,
But it's really important to be who you are,
You think about it
But you don't know what to choose,
You don't know what's right or wrong for you,
It might feel like I just need to give up,
But I know that there's nothing
That will make me stop!

So I'll keep moving on I won't stop,
Until I find the answer so I'll keep moving on,
I won't back down until I get me answer, Hee Hee!!!

our trip to pearse museum
On thursday we went on a trip to the pearse museum in ratfarnham for a part of our history programme.The trip was long but good,when we arrived in the 50 acres of park we were amazed,it had about 4 gaa pitches and the grass was brilliant.
We had a short puc around in hurling then had our morning breakfast,after that we made our way to the museum.
It was really hard to imagine that the building was over 100 years old,if i had to say how old it was i'd say it was about 50 odd years old.We made our way around the back (now the reception hq).We were greeted very nicely by the staff and we had to put our hurl's in a special corner before we went into a room to watch the history of the museum.
Patrick and his brother Willie were very good freinds and as they walked around the park where their hero Robert Emmet and Sarah Curran went all the time.When they were walking along they seen the building and they rented it out.That how St.Enda's school was born.
After the film we went to the main hall where the front door was,and seen two paintings by
Elvery (i forget first name) and a table that is said that Robert Emmet was quartered.
We went to patricks main office whare there were still papers and letters from 1916.
Then we made our way to the place were the students done their Obair Bhaile,although there were no desks in the room there were in 1916 and the other years.
We only went into the chapel for a minuite but it was wierd to see a chapel in a school.
Our last stop in the building was one of the dormatory's and some of the beds from 93 years ago were there,but there were a copule of new beds aswell.
We went to the nature room after that and we had to write down a couple of things (can't remember what they were).We also got to see and feel real birds (dead).
We also got to find out that there are bats living in the attic.
When we made our way back,we passed Emmets fort,and started hiking.
When we finnaly got back to the gaa pitches we played hurling for about 20 minuites and then we went back had our lunch and got back on the bus.There was singing on the bus
and it was great we our now in the school reading THE YOUNG REBELS as I write this
AND THAT WAS OUR TRIP.

Joey’s Chefs in the Corridors (and Kitchens) of Power!

At the invitation of the Minister for Children, the members of the Joey’s Cookery Club took a trip to Dáil Éireann where they presented the Minister with a Great Joey’s Cookbook and a basket of freshly baked cakes and breads straight from the recipe book! Mr. Andrews was joined by Mr. Haughey and both ministers congratulated the boys on their wonderful achievement. The boys also met with local T.D. Finian McGrath and spotted a number of other high-profile politicians including a very worried looking Minister for Finance!
With due respect to the politicians the highlight of trip was, as befits budding chefs, the tour of the Dáil kitchens. Thanks to Dail chef Tony O’Brien, (Loughlan’s Dad and, incidentally, a former Joey’s pupil himself), the boys had lunch in the Dáil restaurant and then toured the kitchens and learned a lot about life behind the scenes in a busy restaurant.
Thanks to all concerned for a wonderful, educational opportunity.

On Sunday me my family went to Poland. On Monday we went skiing. Iwas the second best of the holiday. On Tuesday we went skiing again. After skiing we went to the swimming pool. The swimming pool had a sauna, steamroom and a jacuzzi. There was a gym and a pool table.
On Wednesday we went skiing and when it was lunch we went to the ski cafe . After skiing we went to the jacuzzi. On Thursday we went into town. I bought a Polish flag and a hat.
On Friday we went skiing and into town for dinner. We got a really funny taxi driver. He thought he was a cowboy. He kept saying 'Yee Ha!!!'. Saturday was our last day skiing. We had fun on the slopes and then had to pack to go home.

Joeys match report!

2009-02-12T09:11:00.001Z

Heroes All in Famous Victory!

Joey’s Draw First Blood In North City League!
Scoil Iosaif, Fairview 4 – 1
Scoil Bhríd, Killester 3 – 3

In a heart-stopping, nerve-tingling, finger-biting epic the boys of St. Joseph’s ran out narrow but deserving winners against much vaunted opponents from St. Brigid’s Killester in the first ever game of the newly set up North City League.
This was a real David Vs Goliath struggle as Division Three Joey’s took on the Division One kingpins. Right from the start the local boys threw everything bar the kitchen sink into the fray. Uyi Ogie, surely Nigeria’s finest ever hurler, opened the scoring when he slammed home from five metres following a weaving solo run. The same player followed up less than three minutes later and really put the cat amongst the pigeons with another rasper which left Killester reeling. St. Brigid’s only reply was a pointed free although it did take a couple of fine saves from Loughlan O’Brien to prevent a Brigid’s goalfest!
The second half began with Brigid’s launching an all out assault on the Joey’s goal and they grabbed a fine goal and then another pointed free to leave only a point between the sides as the game entered the last quarter.
The diminutive Matthew Weafer showed a clean pair of heels to the Brigid’s defence when he ran on to a Brandon Kilkenny clearance and calmly slotted home his side’s third goal. Brigid’s broke clear and pulled a goal back but Weafer scored a neat point. Uyi Ogie completed his hat-trick and Joey’s looked safe but a pointed free and a late, late goal brought the margin back to the minimum. The last few minutes were not for the faint-hearted as Joey’s fought tooth and nail to hold on to the lead and survive they did thanks in the end to steely determined defence by Caelan O’Meara, Ross Mason, Matas Gallinas, Dmytro Protsenko, heroic hurling by the brilliant Brandon Kilkenny and superb opportunism by Uyi Ogie up front.
Man of the Match: Ross Mason

Joey’s Seniors Send Out A Message!

Extraordinary Win For Never-Say-Die Joey’s!

Scoil Iosaif, Fairview 2 – 1
Scoil Fhiachra, Beaumont 2 – 0

Reigning Division One champions, Fiachra’s of Beaumont, came to Fairview for what they expected would be a stroll in the park against Division Three opponents, Joey’s but they got a lot more than they bargained for and went home battered, bruised and shell-shocked!
St. Fiachra’s began the game with the aid of a near-hurricane force wind and laid siege to the Joey’s goal from the word go. Such were the heroics of the stalwart Fairview defence led by Loughlan O’Brien between the posts and Séan “The Rock” Reilly in front of him that in the first twenty-nine minutes Joey’s conceded just a single goal. Cruelly, on the stroke of half-time a speculative Fiachra’s shot took a wicked deflection and spun over the line to leave Joey’s trailing by two goals at the interval.
A stirring half-time team talk saw Joey’s take the field with a resolute, determined attitude. Daryl Conroy rocked the Beaumont boys with an early goal to put the cat amongst the pigeons and the game turned into a classic battle: Joey’s attacking for all they were worth and Fiachra’s fighting a tough, uncompromising defensive action. In the final minutes Caelan O’Meara hit the equalising goal and many a team would be happy with a share of the spoils but not this Joey’s outfit. “Cometh the hour, cometh the man” is an old saying and for Joey’s the magnificent Brandon Kilkenny stepped up to the plate. As the game edged into injury time Brandon gathered a ball sixty metres from the Fiachra’s goal and let loose a rocket of a shot which, to enormous cheers from the Joey’s followers, sailed between the posts. The referee then blew the long whistle and Joey’s had a well-deserved win.
There were outstanding displays all through the Joey’s team but special mention must be made of Ross Mason, Jake Bradley, Dmytro Protsenko, Kornel Tuzyk and Uyi Ogie, the latter surely Nigeria’s finest hurler.
Man of the Match: Brandon Kilkenny, St. Joseph’s

St. Joseph's v St. Brigids.

Both Joeys junior hurling teams put up a great fight yesterday but sadly both teams lost. There was good hurling on display and we think we will win the next match. Darragh Reynolds and Aaron Nolan were unlucky not to score. Mr O'hIcí and Mr Mc Donald were delighted with the performance. UP JOEYS!

2009-01-21T12:55:00.002Z

There is a junior hurling match today in Fairview Park. It is the first match of the season. I am playing corner forward. Mr O'hIcí is the manager. We hope we win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Some Artemis Fowl books
Including:book 1,2,Fowl files and book 7

Okay,okay! We all know that I've fallen behind my reviews but I was busy!Any way I got some done

Some Reviews for the book's are:

1)Matas said for "Millions":There were too much talk about saints!But I liked it anyway.

2)Ryan said:Artemis Fowl 1 was Very good! I'm going to read the sequels!

3)I myself thought that "When Hitler stole Pink Rabbit was brilliant but it only gives a part of the author's life.

Louglain & I are working hard to bring more book reviews to the website shortly.There will be defintly more after the holidays but we'll hopefully get some on before them, as this was only as little sample of the reviews.

On Thursday I went to Sunderland with the school. Four boys went with Miss Cunnane. It was deadly. We stayed in a hotel for two nights. We went to the stadium of light, swimming, bowling, skiing and played football. We made a T- shirt and a match report. On Saturday we went to Sunderland v West Brom. Before the match we met Dean Whitehead and got our photos taken with him. Sunderland won 4 - 0.
The best bit was the skiing and the second was the match. We went to TGI Fridays and then to the airport. The plane was late getting back. I was tired but I had a fantastic time.
Thank You Miss Cunnane for bringing us. :)
