February 1st is Saint Brigid’s Day!

This is the day that people in Ireland celebrate the start of spring. Flowers are emerging from the ground and buds are appearing on trees, and if you look to the skies you might see a flying V- geese and swans leaving Ireland to head for the colder climates of Iceland and Canada!

Everyone in Room 8 is working hard at home getting all our schoolwork done. To celebrate Saint Brigid’s Day we learned the story of St. Brigid and her amazing cloak and we made Saint Brigid’s crosses.

4th Class had a virtual zoom tea party for The Motor Neuron Disease Association of Ireland. We drank lots of tea, ate mountains of cake and chatted about the incredible year we had. Everyone even got to see Ms Kelly’s Ice Bucket challenge. Thank you to everyone who donated we have raised €545 which is amazing. Here are some of the nice treats we enjoyed.

So during the past few months 4th class have been zooming with Ms Kelly and Ms Downey. Today Ms Kelly and Ms Downey taught 23 4th class pupils and their families how to make pizza on zoom. It was great fun and everyone made delicious pizzas. Here is the pizza recipe if you fancy making pizza yourself. We’ve also made lemonade scones in the past if you want to give them a go as well. lemonade scones .
