Christmas is here

We started decorating the classroom for Christmas today. We took turns putting decorations on the tree and helped Ms. Fahy put stickers on the windows. It's really starting to feel festive now.

Drama

We have been studying traditional tales in literacy lessons. In drama we chose a traditional tale and mimed an important scene from the story. The rest of the class had to guess what story we were acting out. We had loads of fun.

A visit from the army

Three members of the army presented our school with a Proclamation of Independence and an Irish flag to commemorate the centenary of the 1916 Rising. We loved meeting them and hearing about their peacekeeping missions abroad.
We sang Amhrán na bhFiann after the presentation.

Scríobh Workshop

Javi and Niall from Scríobh came to work with us. They wanted to write stories with 1st, 2nd and 3rd class. They work in a publishing house but their boss, Mrs. McClonkey doesn't think that children can be authors. She thinks children have no imaginations. She is wrong! We created a super story with Niall and Javi. Ms. Fahy printed them out and we illustrated our work. We are super authors.
