December
In December we had a special visitor from the North Pole in our classroom - Eve the Elf came from the North Pole. We also enjoyed making our clay Christmas decorations with Monica.
January
After our lovely Christmas break we returned to the classroom for our second school term!
We are all refreshed and are working hard to settle back into our routines after our two week break.
February
In February we celebrated St. Brigid's Day by learning about St. Brigid and creating some St. Brigid's Day crosses and cloaks, take a look at some of our creations below!
​
We also made some lovely Valentine's art for our families, we stuck buttons onto our heart templates - this was great fun and it promoted good fine motor skill development.
March
​In March we took part in the Operation Transform walk with the whole school. We walked down to Tynan's farm every Friday and each week we extended our distance to increase our challenge.
We also ate some lovely pancakes and decorated our pancake templates on the 1st of March for Pancake Tuesday to mark the start of Lent.
St. Patrick's Day art and our Green Day in school also took place in March! We even had a few selfies!
