The Gingerbread man was not fast enough for the Rising Stars!  

On the 3rd Day of Christmas, all the boys and girls enjoyed a tasty hot chocolate in their Christmas jumpers and PJs while watching a Christmas movie. Merry Christmas everyone!

On the 2nd Day of Christmas, A Christmas scavenger hunt took place. Due to our Christmas concert being cancelled each class also sang and recorded some songs from their Christmas play.  

Everyone in St.Brigids NS have been getting into the festive spirit completing different activities as part of the 3 Days of Christmas. On Monday every classroom took part in a Christmas themed table quiz. After that, each classroom decorated a small part of a Christmas tree, 5th and 6th class then put it all together, doesn't it look great!

Instead of completing regular homework for the last week, First and Second Class worked on a project. They had to design and make a crib from materials they had at home. They used materials such as wood, cardboard boxes, lollipop sticks, clothes pegs, toilet roll tubes, lego, cotton wool, old Christmas decorations and greenery from their gardens. The results were just amazing! Well done to all.

First and Second Class have been very busy getting ready for Christmas. They made some beautiful wooden penguins and snowflake decorations. Don't they look lovely!

First and Second Class have had a little visitor, all the way from The North Pole, spend some time in their classroom for the last few weeks. His name is Séamus and he has been very busy watching them and reporting back to Santa every evening, causing a small bit of mischief along the way. He's a hungry little fella and had an eye on everyone's lunch, especially Michaela's.

The Shooting and Shining Stars had their last library visit on Tuesday. They listened to Christmas stories, turned on the lights on the Christmas tree, and looked at Christmas books, they had a great time! Thank you to our wonderful librarian Kathleen that made every library visit extra special for us.

The boys and girls in 5th and 6th class have been getting into the festive spirit this week. On Tuesday they used chalk pastels to draw their own snowmen at night. Don’t they’ve look fantastic!  

The children in the Rising Stars classroom have been testing out different instruments and the sounds they make, some future musicians in the making!
