4th & 5th Class in Room 3 have been as busy as Santa's elves in the run up to Christmas!!!

In literacy,  we have focusing on creative writing and we had some great stories about the day in a life of an elf and also a disaster in the North Pole!! We also wrote some poems  about Christmas. Ms Clarke also set us a task of naming the A-Z of Christmas. We had great fun doing this and we eventually got a word for z!

In Art, we focused on light and dark and shading. We created a winter scene using just black card and white chalk. We thought that it would be very tricky but it was actually very easy!

                                                  

                                                  

We also used oil pastels to create a Christmas Through the Window scene. We think that our art turned out great!

                                                      

                                                 

                                         

                                         

                                                    

                                                    

                                                    

                                                    

It was great that we got to put away our uniforms and get into the spirit of Christmas by wearing Christmas colours and jumpers to school for a whole week. We enjoyed the Christmas jumper day and we were glad that we were able to raise money for Crumlin Children's Hospital. We could not believe it when Ms Ormiston announced that the whole school and staff had raised over €450. Well done everyone!

For the topic of Winter we learned all about the aimsir in Gaeilge.  We learned a poem about an Fear Sneachta . In art, we made 3D snowmen and snowmen using fabric and fibre.
