Summer 2024 Top Travellers This term year 10 students have been studying Travel Writing Pupils from 10 Courage described their travels Welcome to Legenderry I just entered the city of Derry and the first thing to note is the incredible sight of the city walls that date back to the 17th century Walking along the historic walls offers a glimpse into the city s past and offers breathtaking views of Derry When I continue to wander around I can t help but notice the Guildhall a stunning building that stands proudly in the heart of the city Let s not forget about the Peace Bridge a modern marvel that spans along the river Foyle The bridge not only connects the two sides of the city but also serves a reminder of unity I stroll around the city I see the vibrant streets of Derry filled with shops cozy caf s and lively bars The city has a warm and welcoming atmosphere The colourful murals adorning the buildings tell tales of the city s history and culture whilst adding an artistic touch to every corner 5 Page

Summer 2024 When you speak to the people of the city you notice their warm and friendly nature The locals of Derry are known for their hospitality and genuine interest of getting to know other people Whether you strike up a conversation in a quirky local bar or exploring the city s landmarks you ll be met with a genuine smile and people who are willing to share their stories For me the highlight of this place is definitely the rich history Walking through the streets of Derry you can t help but notice the ancient city walls that I have talked about already The blend of old and new with historic buildings alongside modern shops and caf s creates a unique and vibrant atmosphere Derry is a place where you can truly feel the stories of the past come alive Orlaigh Wilson 10 Courage 6 Page

Summer 2024 View from the top I started to ascend up the towering mountain my heart races with a mix of excitement and determination The trail beneath my feet is a patchwork of earthy browns and vibrant greens with small pebbles crunching at each step The air is cool and invigorating carrying with it a scent of fresh pine and damp earth As I climb higher the landscape begins to unfold before my eyes like a breathtaking painting The trees gradually thin out revealing glimpses of the awe inspiring vistas that await me The sun peeks through the gaps of the canopy casting ethereal rays of light that dance on the forest floor Reaching a higher elevation I pause to catch my breath and take in the panoramic view that stretches out before me The mountains like ancient sentinels stand tall and proud their peeks disappearing into the wispy clouds above The valleys below painted the sky in shades of emerald and gold cradle meadows and streams that glisten under the suns warm embrace Finally as I conquer the summit a surge of triumph floods my being I stand there a mere speck on the grand canvas of nature in awe of the vastness and beauty that surrounds me The setting sun paints the sky in a breathtaking display of colours as if nature itself was celebrating The hues of pink orange and purple blend together casting a mesmerizing glow that wraps the world in a blanket of enchantment Leah McGlinchey 10 Courage 7 Page

Summer 2024 Tomorrow Tomorrow is a new day A promise to put yesterday away A fresh face to see Another opportunity Tomorrow Tomorrow will be better She watches as the last drop trickled down the drain She crushes the last pill To the world it is to rebuild To start a fresh cycle of life A new bird will sing A new flower to grow The counting starts again 1 second 1 minute 1 day Thoughts swirl in her mind Will it come to an end To some tomorrow is a chore Just another day until the night comes again To get paid to live another day Another sleepless night Another hopeless day She needs it to work this time Her life depends on it The voices can t win this fight Is she able to control the craving To the world tomorrow is to rebuild To some tomorrow is a chore Tomorrow is a promise to fix what was destroyed The night draws in everyone is asleep The world starts its cycle again and tomorrow brings a new start She wants her spark back The joy she once had This freedom will give her that Tomorrow will bring the sun she is looking for By Jade McFadden Yr 11 Cara Leigh Doherty Yr 12 10 P a g e
