Pi-Haiku Poem
By Newspaper club member Jordan M.
Escape
They were close
Quick
I matched the speed.
Near
That is where they were
In the forest I ran, they followed.
River
I jumped in the rapids
I tried to get out.
Saw escape
River banks were close
The swift current pushed me closer.
I grasped the jagged edge of the rock
I pulled myself onto it
Escape was so close, but they followed.

Junior Volleyball
By Newspaper club member Ava R.
Hi, I am, Ava Reid a grade 7 student of Millbrook South Cavan and I took part in assisting the Jr volleyball competitive team of 201. During practices we worked on building confidence and skills to prepare for the hard work required on tournament day! Being a junior coach is a great experience and also really fun to do. I feel like it’s a really good chance to learn and observe how I used to feel so pressured when trying out. I learned that there was no need for that and I encouraged the junior people to feel more welcome to mess up. Our tournament took place December 6th and our hard work paid off!
All the best through the holidays……
