December has been a busy month for all of us! For the past number of weeks we have been busy practising for the Christmas play which was held yesterday in St. Mary’s Church, Castlecomer. Afterwards, we had a party in school and a visit from Santa Claus!
When we were not practising, we were busy in our classroom doing lots of fun things in preparation for the festive season. We made Advent Wreaths and discussed all about this important time in the Church year.
In English, the children in 2nd and 3rd class wrote wonderful Acrostic Poems using the word “CHRISTMAS”. Some children even made their poems rhyme!
In Visual Arts, we made Christmas Stockings and learned how to do a simple stitch. We decorated them with our initials and some sparkly embellishments!
We also made decorations for our Christmas trees at home, using a white, paper clay. When they were dry, we painted them and attached ribbon to hang them up…
In Gaeilge, we learned lots of new vocabulary based on “An Nollaig”.
The children learned 2 new Christmas songs called “Bualadh Bos” and “Crann Nollag” and also a poem called “Tá San Nioclás ag Teacht”. We wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
