Mrs. McAlea’s Junior Infant’s enjoyed exploring Autumn on the Farm just before Winter arrived. The

children gathered Autumn leaves, berries and conkers on their nature walk through the little wood. Theyharvested lovely tasty vegetables and gathered chicken and duck eggs. Following this they fed Daisy the Cow

and her two calves. They also fed Sally the Donkey. We all cooked apple pie together and our budding chefs

had great fun. The day inished with fun in the playground. Mrs. McAlea

“I heard the bells

on Christmas Day

Their old, familiar

carols play,

And wild and sweet

The words repeat

Of peace on earth,

good-will to men!”

Henry Wadsworth

Longfellow



Junior Infants School trip to Croom

The kids did a nature walk collecting autumn leaves, conkers, acorns etc., helped feed the animals, baked apple tarts and had

play time in the garden as can be seen below in the photomontage from the day. Ms. Nash

Junior infants visited Santa in city hall recently - the children had to bring recycled batteries

to Santa and in exchange, they got a gift each of books or colouring books from Santa.

The children also met Santa’s elves and sang their Christmas carols for him.

First Class

Sports day in

Ceim ar Cheim

Mr Walsh’s 3rd Class were involved in planting an Orchard at the Learning Hub on 30th November 2012, With a little help from

Munster Rugby stars John Hayes and Marcus Horan. James, Nicole, Clarissa, Chloe, Tommy and Caitlin were planting trees as part of our schools biodiversity programme. They were accompanied by Mrs Gannon and Tony Buckley.

ar Ceim on December 5th. Activities included

egg and spoon race, three legged race, sack race and wheelbarrow race. The well run day

concluded with a soccer tournament.

The children went home with lots of medals

and trophy.

Third Class Tree Planting

I wish you all and your families and loved one the blessings of this Holy Season. I came across the following relection which

might be helpful in approaching the more lasting gifts of this Christmas. Fr Tony

Afirmation

I believe that Christmas is more than a time for parties and decorations and lights. It is a time for remembering Christ and the

Incarnation of God’s love in human lesh.

I believe these are gifts more important that the one under the Christmas tree, the things we teach our children, the way we

share ourselves with friends and neighbours and the ways we set about making the world a better place in our time.

I believe that the inest carols are often sung by the poorest voices ;from hearts made warm by the wonder of the season.I believe in the angel’s message that we should not be afraid - that the Child of Bethlehem is able to overcome all anxieties and

insecurities.

I believe in prayer and quietness as a way of approaching Christmas - that if I wait in silence I will experience the presence of the

one born in the manger, for he lives today as surely as he lived then.

I believe in going away from Christmas as the wise men went “another way”, I want to be different when those days are

past - more centred, more thoughtful, more caring.

Ms Clancy’s 2nd Class recently took part in a sports day in the Bays. Casandra, Steven, Daragh, Debra and Wayne,organised a fun

illed morning of exercise as part of their Leaving Cert applied programme. The Class seriously enjoyed, egg and spoon races(...

potatoes were used to keep the clean up to a minimum!), 3 legged races, sack races and wheelbarrow races. They also took part

in a soccer tournament and Demi, Jordan, Levi and Jack made up the winning team. Before we headed back to school,each Pupil

received a cert for participation and numerous medals. Well Done to all involved.

Sports day in the Bays.
