Working with Clay.

We love to work with clay and we made two things this month.
 First we played with the clay. then we rolled it into a ball and pushed our thumbs down into the middle to make a bowl. It was really easy to do and we did a great job. We left the bowls to dry and then we were allowed to make whatever we wanted to. We made butterflies, people, dogs, cats, rabbits. It was great fun.

When all the clay was dry, we painted everything. We used the three primary colours red, blue and yellow. We mixed the paints and made lots of new colours to use on the clay.

Saint Patrick's Day Celebrations.

Celebrating Saint Patrick's Day was great fun. We made hats and stuck a green shamrock on the front. We had a concert with the other Infant classes. We danced Ballaí  Luimní and Mrs Bell was very proud of us.

Saint. Patrick

Saint Patrick is our special saint in Ireland and we did lots of work to celebrate his feast day. While Miss Olsen was with us she told us the story of Patrick and we watched a film  called "Give Up Yer Aul Sins, The Story Of Saint Patrick". This was a great film and we think you would enjoy watching it. Afterwards we worked in groups making a project about Saint Patrick.

Spring Term: Our Tile Display

We have been very busy this term and have taken lots of photographs of our activities.

We painted pretty flowers and leaves on white tiles. When they were dry, Ogie glued them onto the wall outside our classroom. They make a lovely display. Thank you Ogie :-)

Nativity Play 2011

Tuesday 13th December was a big day for us. After many weeks of rehearsals, we finally got to perform our Nativity Play for our Mums and Dads. Mrs Daly helped with the music and six girls from 6th class helped us to dress up in our costumes. The show started at 9.30am and we were just fabulous. We all knew what to do, we said our lines and we sang all the songs.
Afterwards the Mums and Dads had coffee and we had a party.
Mrs Bell was very proud of us all!
