MY TRIP TO EURO DISNEY

We flew out from Shannon and we flew into Paris. We stayed in a Hotel in Euroà ¢Ã¢”š ¬Ã¢â‚¬Å“Disney so we could walk to all The different rides. There were lots of different rides. One of them was called à ¢Ã¢”š ¬Ã‹Å“Ità ¢Ã¢”š ¬Ã¢”ž ¢s a small worldà ¢Ã¢”š ¬Ã¢”ž ¢. Another ride we went on was the Tower ofԚ   Terror. The weather was quiet cold. Breakfast was great, you could eat as much as you liked. Some of the characters I met were Goofy, Mickey Mouse, Prince John from Robin Hood and Chip and Dale the Chip Monks. I got a pass for all the different rides so I did not have to queue for the rides.I got to see a Parade of all the different characters. I had a great time. The highlight for me was when my Dads hat blew off on the Boat !!!!

NATASHA FUNDRAISES FOR SPECAL OLYMPICS

My   name is Natasha Cosgrave. I am a Special Olympic Athlete. I did Gymnastics in Belfast in 2006 and won plenty of medals. I am not taking part in the Games this year in U.L. Arena . So I am fundraising instead. I will be modelling in the Carlton Castletroy Park Hotel on Tuesday 23rd March 2010. The tickets are ┚ ¬15 and all the money will go to the Special Olympic 2010 games. I will be modelling up and down the Cat walk. My Mother and Sisters will be there to support me. I am “happy”  to be modelling for the first time. I hope to wear a “posh” dress on the night. I won’t be nervous, just EXCITED!!!.

Special Olympics

The Special Olympics take place this year in Limerick on June 9th to 13th.

We are very lucky to have this special event in the University of Limerick because it is the most beautiful University campus in Ireland.

Some of us from the Tait are taking part, Claire Oà ¢Ã¢”š ¬Ã¢”ž ¢Connor and Jimmy Murphy in the swimming. Ann Oà ¢Ã¢”š ¬Ã¢”ž ¢Byrne and Brian Clohessy in Basketball.

We are training very hard and hopefully will win some medals.   We are very excited and looking forward to the games.

GOOD LUCK TO ALL!
