Happy Christmas!
The last post before the holidays!
It has been a busy week. We had a lot of girls out on Monday. It was disappointing to miss the last day of swimming. All the girls enjoyed the 6 weeks in Kingfisher and hopefully will keep the swimming up. It’s all practice!
Fifth , fourth and second classes came together for choir and we sang some lovely Christmas songs. We hope to sing together again next week and hopefully second class will get to visit the Sisters in Madonna House to sing some Christmas songs for the Sisters.
The knitters completed their first item! ( With a little help from Ms Finucane!). They made Christmas wreaths and/or a cat. Hopefully there will be a lot of knitting done during the holidays and we will be ready to start again on Thursdays
We wish you all a Green Christmas! The children will have great tips on how to stay ‘ green’ during the holidays. Small changes can make all the difference.
Wishing you all a happy ,peaceful and restful Christmas.
December news
We are busy learning songs for Hey Ewe. We have three songs to learn.
We have started our Christmas art. We are making clay handprints that we will paint as Santa Claus and put on the Christmas tree. The clay was hard to work with in the beginning.
In Science, we checked out the law of gravity as discovered by Isacc Newton. We saw that when you drop things of different weight from the same height, they will land on the ground at the same time. This information will be recorded in the Green Schools folder.
We are making progress with knitting, but the girls need a lot of help. Hopefully , there will be time to knit during the Christmas holidays. We would like to have a knitted Christmas wreath for the tree before the holidays
