How we decided to visit the old-folks-home
Before Christmas we had decided, in religion, that everyone in the
class would work on doing something really nice for someone they knew,
as a project for Christmas. No one knew what to do and we discussed it
in religion class. We thought it would be better if we did one big
project altogether. We wanted to cheer up the people who might find Christmas lonely. We discussed some ideas, but the one we liked the
most, and all agreed on, was to visit the old-folks-home.
We elected five leaders, who came up with what we were going to
perform there. The leaders found out if anyone played instruments and
arranged the musicians into groups. There was a classical music group,
Everyone was to sing Christmas carols and there would be a Christmas
poem as well.
Afterwards, we had enjoyed visiting, and the old-folks had enjoyed being visited, so we decided we should visit every month if possible.

St.Marks Day Out
We decided that everyone would bring in a fixed amount of money and with
that we could buy lots of sweets to give to the Old Folks.We also
arranged songs and different people were to bring in their musical
instruments.So, with santa hats on,in we went to the Old Folks home in
Fermoy.We started off by singing Christmas carols,then we played the musical
instruments like the flute,violin and the box.The Old Folks loved it.Some
even sang along!We then went around giving out the sweets and special cards
we had made for them.Some of the people there were so lonely and were'nt
used to all the attention,they cried.
All in all everyone had a brilliant time.The matron that was in charge there
told us how much they really enjoyed the company.We are currently working on
our next visit.Every single one of us is looking forward to seeing our old
friends again
