Christmas
By Luke
Click your fingers Santa’s coming,
Here’s the time for Christmas humming,
Reindeer through the snow are running,
Its the Christmas joy,
Tonight we get a Christmas toy,
Santa Claus is filled with joy,
Mums and Dads are happy tonight,
All of us cheer tonight,
Santa Claus is coming tonight!
This month 4th/5th Class have been learning about Wind: Where wind comes from and how wind is measured.
We have studied the work of Francis Beaufort from County Meath who invented the Beaufort Scale for measuring wind speed. 
We have built our own Wind Gauges or Anemometers. We are collecting our results over a few days to see how the wind speed changes.
The parents who attend Paula’s Cookery and Baking Class on Friday mornings finished the term off with a delicious feast of food from around the world. Paula prepared both traditional and other foods, and the parents brought dishes they had cooked at home. There was enough food to feed the whole school.
Great fun was had with Christmas crackers, paper hats and silly jokes, sharing stories and festive cheer. Many thanks to Paula for always providing such an enjoyable class.
The cookery class resumes on Friday 18th January, and is free and open to new people to join.
