December

Aistear

During December, we were very busy with Aistear learning about everything relating to Christmas. During the first week, we learned about the nativity story which prepared us for our carol service.  Throughout the second week in December, we learned about writing Christmas cards and all the work that the post man does during Christmas. For our last week,  before our holidays we had great fun pretending we were in Santa’s workshop and the children designed, constructed and presented toys that they made for Santa’s workshop to the class. In addition, during this time the children made wonderful Christmas decorations to take home and decorate their houses for Christmas.

School Carol Service

The junior room was delighted to perform the nativity story as part of our school carol service. All the children were absolutely wonderful and I was very proud of every one of them. They all performed their roles wonderfully and sang their songs beautifully.

Ovoca Manor

The junior room were so delighted to follow the star to Ovoca Manor to see their performance of the nativity play. We had such a wonderful time seeing the nativity and Jacobs's Dad greeted us which was a great surprise ! We decorated some star cookies and then had the opportunity to play with playdough, dress up, complete two art projects, read books and play with lego. It was such a wonderful experience and we thank Mairead and everyone in Ovoca Manor for their hospitality when we were there.

Canon John and his Family

The junior room wish Canon John and his family and very happy retirement. We will miss him a lot but hopefully he will enjoy his time with his family and get some time to relax.

Christmas Party

The junior room had such a wonderful time at the Christmas party. Everyone was dancing and having a wonderful time. Santa’s grotto looked absolutely fabulous, thanks to Brooke’s parents and Santa was very generous and kind.
