St. Brigid's Day

St. Brigid's Day is on Saturday, February 1st.

We heard a wonderful story about how St. Brigid got land from a chieftain on which to build her church.

The chieftain told Brigid that she could have as much land as her cloak would cover.

Brigid's cloak grew and grew and covered enough land on which to build a church.

Here is our version of St. Brigid's cloak. 

Sr. Breda's visit

 We had a lovely visit from Sr. Breda on Friday.

We chatted about the Christmas story and we sang lots of nice Religion songs.

 We even had a night off homework which was great!

Catholic Schools Week

Creating Little Beings

This week teacher read two stories about Little Beings who learned how to make friends and how to be energetic and eager. We used our imagination to create our own Little Beings.

Christmas plays

We saw some excellent Christmas plays in the hall today.

Well done to Ms. Bohan's Senior Infants and Ms. Coade's Junior Infants for such wonderful singing, dancing, costumes and fun.

You have really put us in a Christmassy mood!

Ms. Flaherty's senior infant class did an absolutely fabulous play called Christmas With the Aliens. We really really enjoyed it. Congratulations to the whole class and to your teacher.

A wonderful Christmas story

We went to the hall today to see an absolutely adorable Christmas Play.

Well done to Ms. Warde and her wonderful Junior Infants for all the beautiful singing and wonderful acting!

Advent wreaths

It is nearly Advent.

During Advent we will be preparing for Christmas.

We will hear the Christmas story, sing Christmas songs and light the candles on the Advent wreath.

Today we had fun painting, cutting and sticking our own Advent wreaths.

Thanks Mikel for all your help with our artistic work today.
