Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

I would like to say a big well done to the girls for all their hard work so far in fifth class. I hope you and your families enjoy the holidays and have a very happy Christmas, best wishes for the New Year...from Miss Fitzpatrick 

A busy week for fifth class...

On Tuesday we went to Castle manor Nursing Home to sing for the people there.We got into pairs and set off. When we arrived there, we lined up and started to sing the songs we had learnt.When we had finished everyone clapped and we got crisps and a mineral. Then we walked back to school.
As a reward, teacher gave us no homework. Hurray!!
 On Wednesday we went to see “The Strange Path”. It was about Little Red Riding Hood’s granddaughter. We all thought it was very good.
 After that, we went carol singing for St. Vincent de Paul. Then we all walked back to school.

Carol singing for St Vincent De Paul

A huge well done to the girls who sang beautifully down town today. A massive €1080 was raised at the carol singing and the money will go to SVP. Fair play to all involved. 

The Stray Path

We had a great time today in the town hall at the performance of The Stray Path

Hallelujah Concert




Last Thursday we went to the Hallelujah concert. There were more than 2000 people singing. They were singing the exact same songs as us. Some girls didn’t know that they were singing the same songs. We started off with the family film fun melody. It was so funny seeing everybody dancing. Then we did the weather melody, pop melody and much more…when we finished we had a big surprise…Out came Home Town. All the girls screamed. They sang a song for us. We all sang along and it was so much fun.  There were so many celebrities there that I can’t even name them all…and that was only the practice. When the concert started the lights were on us and we started singing. The concert lasted for at least 2 hours. When it ended we were so tired. Some of us slept in the bus. We arrived at the school at 10:45 sharp.

Fifth class were all about the arts this week...

Yesterday we went to two art exhibitions. It was really fun to look at all the paintings created by artists.  The first one we went to was on Farnham Street, all the paintings were so colourful . At the exhibition there was this tree where people got to put up wishes, dreams and stories. Everyone put up a wish on the tree. Then we went to another art exhibition on Thomas Ashe Street. It was full of paintings and even photographs. Some of the paintings were done by one teacher in our school, Mrs Bradley, they were all so beautiful. We loved that our teacher brought us.
