Winter in the Junior Room

The Junior Room will be having our Christmas Concert on Friday, the 12th of December at 2pm in the Halla in school. We will act out our Nativity drama, and following that, show ‘The Gruffalo’ video which every child in the class participated in creating, under the direction of puppeteer Tommy Baker, and Ms. O Doherty.
For any parent who cannot attend on that day, you would be more than welcome to come to see the dress rehearsal on Thursday the 11th in the Halla, at 1 pm.

We will be selling raffle tickets at our concert. These tickets sold will be included in the raffle at the main concert on Tuesday the 16th Dec 7pm in Labane hall.
First Class will also be part of the school choir which will perform a selection of Christmas Carols at the 2nd to 6th class concert on Tuesday the 16th.

Sr. Breda will be visiting for our yearly religious exam on November the 12th where our class will take part in a prayer service in the Halla.

Treat and Toy Friday is on November the 28th, and then December the19th.

We will get holidays at 12.30pm on December the 19th.

Our November birthday heroes are Peader and Killian.

December birthday dynamos are Alex, Corey and Orlaith.

Our only January jelly baby is Sarah.

Happy Christmas to everyone, and we wish a safe and peaceful Christmas, and a productive fun New Year.

Autumn in the Junior Room

 Autumn in The Junior Room

We had a busy autumn in the Junior Room.
We began working with puppeteer Tommy Baker to develop a drama based on our class novel ‘The Gruffalo’. We used some unusual instruments, such as a dulcimer  and an ubu to provide sound effects to recreate the sounds heard in a forest. Well done especially to Lauren our mouse, Matthew Quinn our fox, Sean the snake, Corey the owl, Meadbh as Gruffalo and Ellie the narrator.

We had a visit from Dawn from the Dogs Trust to teach us how to look after dogs and greet unfamiliar dogs.

We also met Kay who talked all about Biodiversity and how we can continue to promote it in our school.

Our fancy dress day in school went down a treat where we had ghosts, ghouls and guess who people to name just a few.

After that, the Parents’ Council ran a great Bingo fundraiser in Bradley’s in Labane which was a huge success.

Our summer birthday bunnies were Erin, Sophia and Aidan.

Happy birthday to our September Star Diarmuid.

Happy Birthday to the October legends Mark F and Iarla.
