Donkey Sanctuary

The 4th Class girls went to the Donkey Sanctuary as the final part of their One Book One Community Project for 2017. The girls read White Fang by Jack London which had themes of animal cruelty so a trip to this animal welfare centre was very suitable. Ms Twohig’s class groomed a donkey called Dessie and learned all about donkeys and how they are cared for. Before leaving the girls chose a donkey,  named Julie Anne, to adopt for the year.

Here are two accounts written by pupils in the class.

Chuamar go dtí tearmann na hasal inné. Chuamar ar an mbus. Bhíomar ar an mbus ar uair a chloig. Nuair a shroicheamar, bhuaileamar le Martha. D’inis sí dúinn faoi na hasal. Cíoreamar na asal. Dessie ab ainm do. Tar éis é sin shiúileamar timpeall na páirce. Chonaiceamar na hasal ag ithe féar. Tar éis é sin chuamar go dtí an bus arís

Chuamar ar an mbus. Bhí mé in aice le mo chara. Bhíomar ar an mbus ar uair a chloig. Shroicheamar tearmann na hasail. Bhuaileamar le Martha. D’inis sí dúinn faoi na hasail. Cíor mé Dessie. Chonaic mé asail dubh, donn, liath agus bán. D’ith na hasal féar. Chuamar go dtí an mbus agus chuaigh mé abhaile.
