Wicklow County
Council Christmas Decoration Competition
We were delighted to enter the Wicklow County Council
competition where we used recycled materials to make our Christmas decorations.
We used a variety of materials including jigsaws, light bulbs, empty toilet
& kitchen rolls. We were thrilled to receive notification that Sean Ryan,
Junior Infants was selected as one of the 15 winners from across the county of
Wicklow. On Tuesday 18th December Mrs Doyle and Sean’s family
attended a prize ceremony in the Wicklow County Offices where Sean received his
prize from the Wicklow County Chairman. Congratulations Sean !
Christmas Pantomime
On Wednesday 12th December, we were very
excited to go to Dublin to see the pantomime, Cinderella in the Gaiety
Theatre. Everyone enjoyed the pantomime
and we all joined in with the singing and dancing. We then went to McDonalds in
Stillorgan where we had happy meals and great fun. We were all very tired when
we arrived home.
Aistear
During December, our Aistear programme was focused on
Christmas. We learned about the post office and how our Christmas cards are
posted. We all wrote Christmas letters and made envelopes for the North Pole. In
addition, we learned about the Christmas nativity, traditions and festivities.
Christmas Carol
Service
On Sunday 16th December we had our
Christmas Carol Service. In the junior room, we sang a lovely carol – “The rock
you carol”. The children really enjoyed singing and partaking in the service.
In addition, we made the figures for the Christmas crib from clay and painted
them. They were proudly displayed in the church foyer. It was a lovely
Christmas carol service and we were very proud to be part of it.
Christmas Cards
We made class Christmas cards to give to our families.
Each child used their finger prints as a Christmas bauble and signed the card
individually.
Christmas School
Party
We absolutely love our Christmas school party.
Everyone dressed up in their party clothes and danced the night away. In
addition, we all had the opportunity to visit Santa with our families. It was a
wonderful night and we all enjoyed it thoroughly.
