My Favourite Pastimes
By Colleen Callanan 5th class
I am in 5th class and get home from school every day at 3.15pm. I have a lot of time in the evening and at the weekends, so I have lots of pastimes.
One of my favourite pastimes is farming with my Dad. I go herding with him every Saturday. I drive the buggy all over the land. It can hold two people. I always enjoy the silage making and looking after the new calves. I went to the ploughing championships this week with my Dad.
My favourite sport is camogie. I played on our school team last year. I was a forward. We won the school's competition. I played for the Kinvara club also. I was the goalkeeper for the U12's, U13's and U14's. We got to the semi-final with the U12's and U13's but we were beaten in both games. I love playing football as well. I joined Oranmore last year as we had no club.
I listen to music every day. I like a lot of different bands. Black Eyed Peas, The Killers and Greenday are the best.
I go swimming once a week. I go to Tracht beach every summer when the weather is fine.
With all my pastimes I am always busy and never have a dull moment.
