What a magical week it has been! After the buzz of last week's play we where on a great high on Monday. We were looking forward to enjoying our last few days of this term and that is exactly what we did!

Revising our patterns was fun... the children are getting really creative in how they visualise their patterns, introducing all sorts of new dimensions!

We had a special visit from the Sam Maguire Cup!!
We introduced a new present wrapping station to our Aistear. Everyone is getting so good at making decorative cup cakes too! I was very impressed.
Mini Christmas Dinner!
This week we were discussing food. What started off as a conversation about Brussel Sprouts... turned into an idea for a food tasting lesson... but it turned into something far more magical and I think I can say that this is the cutest thing I have ever done with a class. Our very own mini Christmas dinner. It was so much fun!
Preparation:
- discussing the menu
- peeling the sprouts
- laying the table
- folding napkins
- heating the plates
- tastying up the sprouts
- Serving up a feast!
On the menu... turkey, mashed potatoes, brussel sprouts and cranberry sauce!

A very special visit to the nativity. We are all excited to welcome baby Jesus and celebrate his birthday on Christmas day!

Great homework this week!
It was lovely to get the children to chat with their family about favorite foods and have them come back in and share what they learnt with their peers! It's hard to catch a moment to sit and talk in the craziness of family life so I thought that it would be a nice little project and we will do it again. Lovely to see so many Brussel sprout lovers out there!!
I can't believe that we are already half way through the year! and what a fantastic year it has been so far! Thank you to all the parents who have been so encouraging and supportive, it makes my job so much more enjoyable! Also a big thank you for the beautiful cards with such kind words and lovely presents. I hope you all have your own little gift safe under the Christmas trees for unwrapping on Christmas morning. The boys and girls are very excited to have something to give you. And on that note... I will sign off to enjoy the holidays myself and leave you with a very special video to enjoy and share with your family and friends... Have a fantastic holiday everyone and see you all in the new year.
Stay Safe,
Ms Murray
