We have been busy practising all week for our dramai Gaeilge, which we are hoping to perform next Wednesday for the school.
We made lovely badges and a leprechaun for St. Patrick’s Day. We have only three and a half days left to prepare something for Easter!
We learned some more facts about the Great Wall of China.
We made lovely patchwork elephants for World Book Day, as Ms Finucane had very happy memories of that book when her children were small……fado, fado!
While we were at it, we learned some interesting things about elephants: they don’t eat meat, the female raises the offspBring with the help of some ‘Aunties’, they can do amazing things with their trunks and they can live for up to 70 years.
We went to Mass on Friday morning, and we hope to go once a month from now on. The children were as good as gold in the church: they listened very carefully, and joined in with all the responses that they know so far.
Finally, the week ended well with our annual parade , in which the children could wear their national colours. Many songs ‘as Gaeilge’ were sung, and we are very proud that we now know our National Anthem as Gaeilge. That’s a big achievement for Second Class.
