Winter Assembly Lines, songs and costumes



Hi everyone, 

Hope you had a lovely weekend!

Lines and Parts The children have been given their parts for the play today, which means that their lines, the poem and the songs need to be learnt at home for homework. Their lines are highlighted on the script and the song lyrics are at the back also. 

If you feel like your child is finding their lines a bit tricky, feel free to shorten it etc but just let me know. 

Costumes 
> Elves - If the elves could wear all green and black ( I am thinking elves like in the film Arthur Christmas)  that would be great, I will make badges for them. Also if they want they can wear elf hat or ears. ( If your child is not one of the characters below they are an elf :))
> We have a Santa and a Mrs Claus costume, 
> We have a cat costume
> for the dog I am thinking just face paint and black/white/brown - if anyone has ears that would be great, if not we can improvise. 
> Mice - Would it be possible to wear all one colour, brown or grey and again we will paint their faces?
> Fairy - We have had offers of lots of wings so if you have a dress you would like to wear we can give you the wings and wand. 
> Doll - Can wear a dress too, whatever colour you want is fine 
> Teddy Bear - Anyone have a costume/ onsie or ears? If not he can wear all brown, we can look for ears and use face paints. 
> Action hero - Any action hero will do, he is supposed to be a toy action figure so whatever you have should be fine. If you are stuck let us know. 
> Family: Mam, Dad, Brother, Sister can wear pajamas or normal clothes, we will make them look a little sick and disheveled on the day too.  

If anyone has spare things, let me know and we can minimize buying lots of new things. Likewise if anyone is stuck for anything please let me know and we can source it somewhere. 

They were all very excited today so let's keep that enthusiasm going until December 21st!


Thanks a million for all your co-operation ☺

Welcome back!

Hi Everyone, welcome back to Term 3, I hope you had a lovely break! I was away with the 6th class children for the last three days in Coláiste Uisce and I was told that my class have already been working hard and are  ready for a busy few weeks before we finish for the summer :) Here are some important dates to note for the coming weeks.  Next week - Monday 1st & 2nd Of May the school is closed May 8th the school is closed May 9th is our school tour June 2nd & 5th school is closed June 16th Class Assembly     The homework has changed slightly in that the phonics and sound out words are being replaced by reading from our Wandsville, class readers.  We hope to cover the three readers this term, so that means reading practice every night. It is only one page per night, lots of repetition and learning with the visual help of the pictures so no need to worry.  You will have seen on the note that went home...

'a, a, ants on my arm!'

Today we learned all about the sound... Our rhyme for this sound goes like this - 'Curve around, up like a helicopter, bump, back down and kick.' We made sure to check our classroom for things beginning with the 'a' sound so you could have a look around and see if you can spot anything beginning with 'a' outside school! Here is the song for this sound. We have also been practicing our tricky word, 'the', and trying to find it hiding in different places around the classroom!

Weekly homework 19th of February

Hi Everyone,  I hope you all had a lovely mid term break! We had a student teacher, Conor, start with us today and he will be teaching the class for four weeks. The children are all very excited! Feel free to come to me if you have any questions etc as I will still be in the classroom during this period.  Here is the homework for the week:  1. Tricky Words Revision of the tricky words (3 from the old list and 3 from the new list) ' the ', ' all ', ' no ', ' old ', ' many ' and ' should '.  2: Reading The children have been given new readers in their folders.  Once your child gets a new book, please fill in the date they received the book and sign the sheet if you feel your child has completed the book to the best of their ability.  When completing this at home, please focus on fluency, pacing, good expression and a good understanding of the book they are reading.  As always, if you have any questions about this please ...
