Our Carol Service

Tonight's carol service was a huge success, thanks to all the parents, teachers, SNAs and most of all to the children who braved freezing conditions to come and sing for all of us.  You were superb, and really helped to bring the message of Christmas to us all.  May you all have a very happy and peaceful Christmas surrounded by those you love.  Thank you to all.

Christmas art in Senior Infants

We have done lots of beautiful art work for Christmas. Have a look at some of the things we've made so far.

We have been discussing the story of the Nativity and we coloured in these pictures of the Nativity scene.

Here are some beautiful angels we made. We coloured in the angels first. Then we cut them out carefully. Next we painted an empty toilet roll and left it to dry. When dry teacher stapled our angels on to the toilet roll and we added a doiley to create a snowflake background.

We coloured in parts of the snowman and then cut them out. We then arranged the parts together to make a snowman. We dabbed on white paint for the snow.

We made these beautiful angels using our handprints. Teacher helped us to paint our hands. It was great fun but very messy!!! Then we painted on the head and halo and used various shapes for the eyes, nose and ears. We also decorated the page with bits of coloured paper, feathers and shapes. These took a long time to make but they turned out great!!

We learned a lovely poem about a robin and then we coloured in a picture of a robin and cut it out. We then stuck it on to a red paper plate. We put the poem underneath and teacher made a hole at the top and attached some string so that we could hang our lovely robins up. We also discussed how winter is a diffificult time for some animals and especially birds and we put a bird feeder outside our classroom with some bread crumbs inside to feed the birds.

Nativity Plays: Junior and Senior Infants

We went to the halla to see two wonderful Nativity Plays.  We loved all the singing, dancing, and of course the story of Christmas.  Well done to the teachers and to the wonderful casts of these plays.
