Christmas Visit to Cavan Post Office

This is a post about something brilliant that we did before the Christmas break.
We were lucky enough to be invited to visit Cavan Post Office to post our letters to Santa!

After consulting with our family, browsing through several toy magazines, watching the Late Late Toy Show and being incredibly good for TWELVE whole months; we finally came up with a list of gifts we wanted to ask Santa for.

We examined the correct method for writing a letter, making sure we put our address at the top right hand corner, followed by the date, and then we put our greeting on the next line on the left hand side of the page.

Then using our very, very neatest writing we wrote our letters to Santa. It was very exciting!

When the letters were ready, we folded them into envelopes and got a bus to Cavan Post Office. The postal workers told us all about the journey our letters take to get to The North Pole. It is a long journey involving planes, trains, trucks and reindeer.

It was a brilliant outing at a very busy time for the people in the Post Office. We tried our best to say thank you by singing as many Christmas songs as we knew!

We really appreciate the help and enthusiasm from everyone in the Post Office.
We also especially want to thank our bus driver for organising the trip.
Merry Christmas everyone!

Happy New Year!

 

We would like to wish all our visitors a Happy New Year..

We hope that 2013 will be a fantastic year for you.

Our Brilliant Baking!

Today we had the privilege of having a master baker in our school, in the form of Mairéad Sheridan. Mairéad has been teaching baking and cookery in Cavan VEC for several years now and we were delighted that she came to help us out. Thank you very much for your help today.
We had great fun weighing the ingredients, mixing them, pouring them, baking them, decorating them and eating the finished result!
We all brought home an extra piece of sponge cake for our family to taste. We hope you liked it.
Here are some photos of us baking.

Happy Ladybugs

We made some pencil holders out of clay today.
First we got used to the clay by banging, rolling and pinching it. Then we made a big ball and a small ball. We pushed the big ball into the table to get a flat bottom on it. Next we got some water and used a crosshatch design to try to help the head stick firmly onto the body. At this stage we drew in our lovely happy faces, and put the patterns on their backs.
We left our happy ladybugs by the radiator and we hope that they will be dry by next week so we can paint them.
As a class we decided that the world needed a bit of cheering up, so they all have really happy faces!
We hope you like them.

UPDATE:  We finished our lady bugs today. We painted them a different colour for each group.
We think they look seriously cool.... :)
