My name is Shane and I am the captain of the school football team for 2007/2008. We wear red jerseys with our school name printed on them. We hope this short video will answer some of the questions you raised some time ago . The goalposts for this game are "H" shaped . If the ball is kicked over the bar it is a POINT. .If the ball is kicked past the goalkeeper under the bar it is a GOAl. One GOAL equals 3 POINTS. So goals are very important. Our game at our age group lasts for 30 minutes ., that is 15 minutes a half. To-day's game was a friendly. Next Tuesday it will be very different . We travel 30 kilometres to another school , Clogher National School where a victory is vital if we are to top the league. It will not be easy. Therefore you will see a far more competitive game when we upload next week In the meantime we are working on lesson 3 of Irish Wildflowers . This lesson will involve artwork ,drawing and labelling the species.
This is the crest ion the Kerry green and gold football jersey. The building is a Round Tower built in the 10th century . One tower still survives in good condition some 20 kilometers from our school . These Round Towers were built by the monks as look outs for Vikng raiders some 1000 years ago. Before a raid they stored manuscripts, chalices and other sacred vessels in the tower and then pulled up the ladder. The dog is an Irish Wolfhound. The Harp is the national musical instrument of Ireland. This harp has 9 strings. After the Norman conquest of 1169 Kerry was divided into 9 baronies each ruled by a baron . The family names of these barons still survive in Kerry to this very day.

Here are two teachers from St. John's Parochial School, Tralee, Co. Kerry.The Principal is Michael Lynch. He is accompanied by Aoife Ni She who also teaches in the school. We got the lighting badly for Michael's interview but we remedied itfor Aoife and hopefully we shall never again have this problem. It is called learning by making mistakes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is the first game of the season and it is a friendly
