Santa comes to Kilcoskan

We must be the luckiest school in Ireland because the big man himself Santa came to visit us today. 

All the boys and girls (and even some staff) got to visit with Santa today. The boys and girls even got a small present from Santa. 

Sam Maguire Comes to visit

A couple of weeks ago we were lucky to have the Sam Maguire cup come to visit us in school. We even got to hold it!!!

We were first in the whole school to welcome the cup!

Santa trip

We were very lucky in our class and got to visit Santa in a local shopping centre. 

First we went and had a look at the Penguins and polar bears at the fountain. 

We all got to visit Santa and tell him what we would like for Christmas. He also gave us all a gift!

We were very lucky and Santa came and took a photo with all of us. 

We are all very excited with our presents. 

Christmas Concert

We had the first concert today. We all dressed up in lovely Christmas jumpers and hats. We all looked the part and had great fun singing all our songs. 

Today we had our first whole school practice for the Christmas concert. It was great to hear all the hard work the other classes had put into their songs. It's was also great to have a chance to practice our own songs in front of a big audience!!

Looking forward to next week for the real deal! 

Christmas Art

It's getting to that time of year again. 

Christmas is firmly on our radar here in our classroom. 

Two of the boys from our class made their own cribs from scratch. They used shoeboxes for the stable and clay to make the characters. Each crib turned out completely unique. 

We decided to make some sock snowmen today. We used a white sock, rice, thread and some buttons to decorate. 

Here are our six socksnow man family all together. Last thing we need to do is give them names!

We decorated our door today for the Christmas carol concert. Poor Santa is stuck in the chimney! 

Here we are with our snowman decorations for the tree and our written cards. 

We finished off our Christmas cards today. We gave the reindeer their antlers and noses. 

Today as a sensory experiment made SNOW. 

It was two simple ingredients mixed together. 

It did give the texture of snow. It came together and would could make little snowballs. 

We continued with the Christmas tree theme today. We painted half of a tree then pressed the other half of the paper back on itself. We opened it up to a lovely symmetrical Christmas tree. 

A while ago we designed our own Cheistmas cards. They came back from the printer today. The designs all turned out lovely. We hope your family and friends enjoy getting the cards!

Today we made some modern art inspired Christmas trees. We cut out strips of different coloured card and layers them to made a tree. We then stuck lovely gold star on the top of our tree. 

We decided to get a start on making some special decorations for all of our Christmas trees at home. 

We mixed, cut out and baked the shapes ourselves. Then today we gave them the first coat of paint. 

We hope to add lots of glitter and ribbon when they are dry. 

The ribbon went on today!
