Dress up day for Christmas

Today was the christmas dress up day. It was great fun and every one really got into the festive holiday and dressed up. I put extra effort into my costume and dress up as a present which really showed as i won the parade along with Chloe Ruth and Stephanie our theme was Modern Christmas. We won a selecton box which went down a treat. I can't wait for the next dress up day as i really enjoyed this.

Junior camoige

Last week we also had a Camoige match. We left the school at 11 o clock and got on all our gear and done a quick warm up only to be disappointed by the park ranger who told us due the the weather conditions we would not be aloud play on the pitch. We were all very unpest and returned too the bus and were then told we could play so we ran back out and gave a greta fight only too be disappointed with a small defeat however we are still in the league and will play our next match much better.

Soccer match

Last week we had our very first soccer match of the year and for me was my first soccer match ever. It was a tough game against Clane in their home grounds. We did our best and I think we played very good as a team but unfortunately came home with a disappointing result of 2-1 too them. How and ever I really enjoyed it and am defiantly going too stick with it.

Religon - advent reaths

In religion this week we made advent reaths. We all brought in an oasis. greenery candels and any other things we wanted too add like ribbons. I really enjoyed making them as it is something i do every year with my nanny. They all turned out brilliantly and the room looked very festive. As we were making them ms. K.B played christmas songs and we were all really enjoying it.

Last Friday in school we had a pod casting workshop in the afternoon. It was really fun we learnt about what a pod cast is and how to make them. We then got in too groups of 6 or 7 and mad our own pod cast. This involved making a script and recording it. Our pod cast was a comedy. It was a show hosted by two old women and too completely different characters arguing over the sayings tea time and time for tea and which is right. I think it was a success and i rwally enjoyed the day.
