SLast Day before Xmas Holidays 

 Just a reminder of our last day before the Christmas Holidays. Santa's visit was so exciting.

As I write, only 328 more sleeps til Christmas 2025!!

                                                       Drum Nature with Neil

An then, January started with a BANG!!

The boys enjoyed a DrumNature drumming session with Neil. They learned all about rhythm, beat patterns and timbre. They had to listen carefully and repeat Neil's drum beat. They did a great job. It wwas great fun and VERY LOUD!!

 

                                                          Yoga with Roisin 2

Yoga with Róisín was a big hit with the boys. A lovely calm descended as the boys practised their, Star pose, Cobra and Downward-facing dog.  They also learned how to sign off with 'Namaste' (I bow to you)

                                                                                                           Yoga with Roisin

 

BRIGIDS BUTTER Colm prep Just a sneek peek into February....

We made St Brigid's Butter in honour of her special feast day - February 1st.

The boys put 2 marbles in their jars

They added cream and a pinch of salt. Then, 'shake, shake, shake!'

                                                  Leo Showing completed butter And 'Hey Presto!' 

 

                                        Delicious brown bread, spread with our creamy, home-made Brigid's Butter, and a                                                                                               dab of strawberry jam....YUM!!
