We were learning all about Egypt last week. We learned that kings were called Pharohs and that Tutankhuman was the most famous Pharoh. We also learned all our songs for our carol singing. My favourite song is  It Must Be Santa. We learned all the actions to the songs too, we can't wait sing them for you. We learned all about Picasso, we also wrote a story about him. My favourite fact about him is that he painted his first painting at eight years old, it was called Le Picado. Thanks too Darragh's dad for coming into our class and telling us all about his work being a pilot it was very interesting!! We are all very excited about Santa. Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year!!

We made volcanoes on Wednesday. We made them with clay, baking powder, food colouring and vinegar.  They erupted! We will paint them next week. Today we are making flowers of people who died because in November we remember. The petals will be made of coloured paper. We also did Warm Up On Wednesday. We are learning furniture in Irish. We did a spelling test on english and we are doing a tables test in a while. We listened and sang '' ouch, me bellybird!''. Talk to you next time!

Did you know that Shannon then had barely any houses? I thought it was funny when Catherine told us that she fell off her scooter which she had instead of a car.Finally, in english we are learning about doctors. That`s it for now. Bye!
