Visit to our local church

We visited our local church today.

It is called St. Oliver Plunkett's.

We saw lots of interesting things.

St. Brigid's crosses

It will be St. Brigid's day on Sunday.

We made nice crosses today.

We also really like the story about how St. Brigid built her church.

Here are pictures of St. Brigid and her cloak:

Sr. Breda's visit

 Sr.Breda came to visit us today and to chat to us about the story of Christmas.

We enjoyed her visit and we enjoyed singing songs for her.

The Nativity

Preparing for Christmas

We are learning all about the Christmas story. We are also rehearsing for our Christmas Play'Christmas with the Aliens', where the story of the First Christmas is explained to some aliens who have landed on earth, as their space ship has broken down. The children are rehearsing for their Christmas play and explain the true meaning of Christmas to them.

We also have both a Christmas calendar and an Advent calender in our class. The Christmas calendar helps us to count down the days until Santa comes (and teacher has put sweets in the calendar and a different person gets a sweet each day). The Advent Calendar helps us to get our hearts ready for the coming of Jesus. Each day we pray for different intentions on the Advent Calendar.

We have put up the nativity scene on our altar in class.
