Festive fun in 4th Class 🎄🎅🎶
6th class had lots of fun at the theatre today. It was the responsibility of 6th class to choose the movie and they chose wisely with the movie "The Grinch".
Life lately in 2nd Class ✨ Last week there was great excitement for our annual trip to the post office to send our letters to Santa. From gingerbread houses to Christmas tree mosaics, melted snowmen and whales we are very talented artists! 🐳☃️🎄 We got to make delicious Christmas cookies with Ms. Callanan and we enjoyed decorating our school Christmas tree. We loved the amazing toy show Sixth Class created! ✨
