We’re almost there and soon it will be Christmas.  Only 7 more sleeps!!

The girls haven’t slowed down in the lead up to Christmas holidays so I’m sure they are getting tired and in need of a well-deserved break. Over the last month the girls have created some amazing 3D art sculptures in Art.  Our little Christmas Wonderland, lead by Blitzen, sits in the front hall to welcome everyone each day.  The girls demonstrated leadership and fantastic teamwork in order to finish these earlier than planned.  They look great girls, well done.

Last week we had County colours day and here were some of the girls captured by Miss Cunniffe.

Sadly, those smiles didn’t last as Waterford were unlucky this year.  But next year could be brighter.  We are still proud of their achievements, and even the Kilkenny supporters may have given a shout for their neighbours!

In Maths, the girls were busy discovering how to construct triangles.  Well done on this work girls.  They liked the challenge and as the week went on, they became more confident in choosing what equipment and method to use.
In History we learned about a very advanced civilisation in the Aztecs.  What amazing engineers and mathematicians they were when they planned and built the Impossible City of Tenochtitlan on Lake Texcoco near Mexico city.  Unfortunately the Spanish Conquistadors were also impressed and conquered their city, and in the process, spread diseases which wiped out the entire population.  This was the awful downfall of the Aztec society.

We had some great fun in Music recording our Christmas song ‘Christmas Candle’ and also some other popular songs such as ‘Jingle bells’, ‘We wish you a Merry Christmas’ and ‘The 12 days of Christmas’.  Ask the girls to do some carolling over the holidays!

Only a day and a half of school left and we’ll see how we finish it off next week!

Best wishes, Ho! Ho! Ho!
