For the last six weeks the four 1st classes have been working very hard with their dance routines. Sinead Reck from Wexford School of Ballet came in to teach the children a Christmas dance.

In Ms. Guerrine's 1st class we have been learning all about toys. We looked at old and new toys. We also made up a questionnaire to ask our parents and grandparents what they liked to play with when they were small. Some children in our class brought in old toys like a porcelain doll, a Jacob's ladder, a skipping rope and a cup and ball.

Today all four 1st classes got a lovely treat. We all went to the Opera House to see 'Rudey's Christmas Adventure'.

This morning we got a big fright in first class. When we arrived into school this morning, Leila noticed that there was a book in our class with a little elf behind it. We could not believe it. 

Before Halloween, we entered the Talbot Art Competition. First, we painted our pages. Once the paint was dry we used crayons and twistables to draw a picture on it.
