Talbot Senior National School

Talbot played out an entertaining 1-1 draw with Clonburris in the Clondalkin League today. We had some excellent chances throughout and their keeper saved well from Callum, Andrew, Ryan, Millie and Michael. Darragh and Cullen who played a half each in goal made some great finger-tip saves from their attacking players. The defence was superb throughout with Jude, Craig, David, Soheib, Afolarin and Toheeb making many important strong challenges. Captain Callum and Luke covered every blade of grass in the centre of midfield while Millie, Ryan, Emmanuel and Michael on the wings got forward at every opportunity. It was our strikers who combined to earn us a draw at the end with Jamie playing a sublime pass into Andrew who finished into the top corner from a difficult angle.

Team: Darragh Davey Kelly, Cullen Lambert, Jude Lambert, Craig Touhy, David Olokun, Soheib Ameur, Afolarin Yusuff, Toheeb Kasali, Callum Forte, Luke O’Reilly, Millie Davey Kelly, Ryan Lee, Emmanuel Adenola, Michael White, Jamie Brannigan, Andrew Keogh.

We have now used 20 players over the 2 matches and hope to bring more players over the next 3 matches.

School closes on Friday 28th April at 2.40 pm for the May Bank Holiday weekend. We re-open on Wednesday 3rd May at 9:oo am. We hope you have an enjoyable long weekend.

Here are a selection of book reviews we completed in April.

No Goodbye by Marita Conlon McKenna

This is a book about a family dealing with a crisis. The mam has left and the dad tries to get his family back. It is good because you have to read the whole book to see if the mother will come back.

We recommend this book because it is full of drama. We think it is suitable for 4^th and 5^th class and we give it a 9/10!

By Kayleigh Power and Carly Gilsenan

Millionaire Mayhem by Sue Mongredien

This is a book about a family that become rich. We like this book because it shows the children who see the real side of being rich.

We recommend it to everyone to read because it is funny, easy to read and we really enjoyed it. We give it a 9/10

By Ryan Molloy Nicholson and Ruby Fallon

Dockside Series: An Act of Kindness by John Townsend

This book is very interesting. It showed me what friendships are. It is a short read but it is still a worthwhile read.

I would recommend this book to all ages and you could even read it to a younger brother or sister. It’s easy to read but still interesting. I  would give this book 10/10

By Carlie Larkin

A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket

This book is about three children whose parents died in a fire so the children must live with a man who is cruel to them. I recommend this book because it is interesting and sad in places. It is suitable for those who can handle sadness in a story! I give it a 10/10

By Taha Altalabani

Billy Bonkers by Giles Andreae

This book is about a boy named Billy and he has a LOT of problems! Billy’s sister, who is very clever, has to try and work out all of his problems. It is a funny book and I would recommend anyone to read this as it is interesting and makes me want to read more! I would give this book a 10/10

By Robyn Meredith O’ Brien

Mossop’s Last Chance by Michael Morpurgo

This book was easy to read, and has great pictures. It was a great story and I really enjoyed reading it. I would rate it as 8/10

By Eva Toner

Fantastic Mr. Fox by Roald Dahl

This book is about a fox who would go to a farm every night and steal a chicken, goose or turkey for his family. It is one of the best books I have ever read and I think it’s suitable for 3^rd or 4^th class. I would give this book a 9/10.

By Tadhg Kinsella

Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan.

It is about a young boy who goes on an adventure to settle an ongoing battle between all the gods. This is the best action packed book I have read. It can be funny in places. I would recommend it for 4^th, 5^th or 6^th class. I would give it a 9/10

By Jake Coffey

Ethan’s voice by Rachel Carter

This is a book about a boy, who lives on a canal, loses his voice and can’t go to school. He meets a girl called Polly and they have lots of adventures to try to figure out why Ethan lost his voice and if he can remember how to talk again. I loved this book when my teacher read it to the class. I hated when she had to stop because I wanted her to read more. It is a book full of drama and suspense. I would recommend this book to anyone and I would give it a 9 and a half out of 10.
