We want to say a big Thank You to Tom Doolan for the lovely treats he sent to us. It is such a kind gesture and the children really enjoyed them! 

The past few weeks the children in the Senior Room have been learning the song "Do You See What I See?" = both singing the song and playing it on the tin whistle. Have a look at their amazing performances. 

As a treat for all the hard work over the past number of weeks, the children got the chance to make some Oreo Milkshakes! 

This week the class were getting their dramatic side on (not that they actually need to !!!). We spent this week doing drama to be able to really get into our parts and make the short plays humorous. 
Each group were given their scripts - each group got the same script - and all had different takes on the same play. They did a table read of the script before staging the play or deciding on actions. Then they discussed with their group what they would do and how they would interact with one another during the play. 
They got great enjoyment out of it! A few movie stars in the making! 

We have had a busy month in Art.
​The children used chalk and black sugar paper to create a snow globe with a Christmas scene inside.
We also made some origami Snowmen and Christmas trees. 

Last month the children learned all about JFK and his Presidency of the United States during the 60s. The children had lots of questions about his life and learned so much as we covered various aspects of his life - from his childhood, family, marriage,  his role as the most influential President. 

All the children completed a newspaper about his life and achievements. 

The past two weeks the children have been working on the theme of Clothes in Irish linked in with Christmas! The children build up towards a short play based on what we covered this week. The children really got into it - putting on funny voices and just having a lot of fun with it! 

I think we may have a few comedians and movie stars in the making!
