Firstly, we got escorted to the Agri farm yard. We got ate lunch, then we got ice cream and it cost 4€ it was so expensive!!! After that we went to the food village. At the orange juice stall A man was throwing a bottle and landing in a cup it was cool. In the food hall there was so much samples. we went to the entertainment stage we played with the bubbles wands  but then a man came up and said that no one can play with his equipment then the other one said to him to stop so we want to the playground .we saw a black smite  making stuff after that we went back to the conservation Area and a man sang Bio Beo after the song we went home BUT... before we went home we stopped at super max ,I got a sweet chilly mayo warp and chips there was a infinite refill machine, I mixed 7up and Ribena it was very nice. I all so went to the shop and got a lindor and a lion duo bar.

​On May 31st 2024, everyone except the junior infants went to Bloom in the Phoenix Park at Dublin. We all went by bus from Redwood to Dublin. We went there because one of our teachers Marie won tickets from a compaction.
 
The bus journey was 3 hours long. When we got there it was about 10 O’clock. We all got split up into groups and we all walked around together but we stopped to eat our lunches then our group went to the toilets and we got ice cream.
 
Then we went to the food village we got some food samples, after about 10 minutes we left the food village and we passed Michelle’s group then we went to the toilets one last time. After a while we found a stage that other kids were at we found some kind of toy that launched a rocket in the sky but then we got bored and we went to the playground where we met 2 of the other we left after 10 or 15 minutes and went to the O’Neil’s shop,3 minutes later we went to the Agri-aware Demonstration. We saw 2 other groups but we waited and waited for about 45 minutes for the last group.
 
Half way home we went to Supermacs and I got a Pepsi, chicken, chip and an ice cream. And after 1 and a half hours later we got home.                                                By Alex

A week or 2 ago, Muinteoir Maire had won tickets for senior infants to 6th class. Everyone in redwood going had gone on bus, we went to bloom.
 
When we had made it to bloom, we were put into 4 groups. We all went into bloom, there was so many tents! Nothing how I thought bloom be like. We got an agri-aware demonstration, we saw cows, sheep, tractors and many more things.
 
We went to many stalls, I think the first one we check was the hammock stall, we got to lay down and sleep. It was very fun. We went to a playground and it was fun.
We went looking and SAW MINIONSS!! I got a hug + a hand five. I also won in a competition and won.
 
On the way home we stopped for food at Supermacs, me and Saran (best friend) shared food together. When our food came I put to many bits of salt in and it was like a desert (sand in case I spelt it wrong) Cormac, Saran and Paidi were die laughing.    I learned not to eat 5 packets of salt on tenders (minions was my favourite part)

It was in the Phoenix Park.
Everyone was split up into different teams
One was with Michelle one was with Paula Sutton

It was senior infants to 6th class.
There were people from agri-aware.
Our teacher Marie entered a competition.
And won tickets for Bloom ,then we went and got
Supermacs.
Then we went home at around 5 o,clock.
What I liked best about the day was walking around with my friends.
We had a lot of free samples.
There was a slurry tank and tractor for display.
The bus was nice.
I looked over and saw Cormac laughing and crying because Caoimhe put 5 packs of salt on her chicken tenders.​

​On the 31st May 2024 Senior Infants to 6th class in Redwood NS went to Bloom in the Phoenix Park in Dublin. Everyone got there by bus from Redwood to Dublin. It was a long trip, we got there and it was not what I expected!
 First we went to some gardens, next we went to the retail tents, in a while we went to the playground, a few minutes later we saw Minions and finally we went to the food area.
 On the way home we stopped at Supermac’s. Cormac, Caoimhe, Saran and I all sat at a table. Caoimhe got 5 packs of salt and we all laughed. On the way home I slept for a while and I woke up and a few minutes later. We were back and I was tired and happy, my favourite part of the day was when we saw the Minions!

​On the 31st May 2024 senior Infants to 6th class travelled to Bloom by bus in the phoenix park Dublin when we were on the bus we brought pillows on the long journey.
After we got off the bus we saw lots and lots of crowds. Few minutes later we got to see beautiful flowers after that we sat on the grass and ate our lunch after we were done eating we saw cattle sheep and machinery. after a while we got free samples. about an hour or two we met up with the other group.
Then we went back on the bus and we got Supermacs.
What I loved best about the day was when it was sunny and learning about lots of other stuff.
