On Wednesday, 14th December there was a hive of excitement in the
school as we had two Christmas shows for families in the halla. At 1.15pm, Ms. Carey’s Junior &
Senior Infants and Ms. Purcell’s Senior Infants & 1st Class melted the hearts of the audience with
their performances of ”Whoops – A – Daisy Angel’ and ‘Shine Star Shine’.
At the 6.30 pm show, Mr. McElroy’s class performed ‘The Elf Olympics’, Ms. Luttrell’s 4th & 5th
Class delivered ‘Jesus’ Christmas Party’ and the final play of the night was from Mr. O’ Callaghan’s
5th & 6th Class with their performance of ‘The Lost Nativity’ where Mary Poppins, Joseph & his
Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat as well as Shrek made an appearance.
The school choir wound up both shows with a truly wonderful display of their talents under the
guidance of Ms. Linehan. Everyone enjoyed the whole school sing along at the end with the full
audience participation.

The Green Schools Committee held an upcycling Christmas decoration competition. Our Christmas tree was fully decorated using the homemade upcycled decorations. The committee were blown away by the number of entries. There were so many great ideas that it was quite the challenge to choose winners! Congratulations to the winners who got a selection of Green School prizes.

We hosted a Book Fair from December 5th to 9th. The children visited the Fair with their classes to explore to wide range of books in the colourful display cases. It was very festive having a book shop in school in the lead up to Christmas. People came at the beginning and end of the day to purchase books. 60% of sales will go back to the school so that we can buy books for the school.

Thanks for your support. It was greatly appreciated!
