Christmas Tree Lighting in Robertstown

Sunday, 2nd December 2012 was such an exciting evening with Santa arriving in Robertstown to view the newly lit Crib and Christmas Tree.

The school choir sang their hearts out, accompanied by Ms. Jennifer Ennis, Ms. Diane O’Grady, Alan Brereton and Ms. Joanne Parle.  Darren did a great job in keeping us all amused throughout the exciting evening.  The rest of the school staff made a great effort to come along and support the children.                                                                                          Jordan Taaffe did a perfect job lighting up the beautiful tree.                                            Thank you to everyone who helped make this event so memorable and special.                                    What a special village community we have in Robertstown!!

Fabric faces

We made some fabric faces in November.We planned out what we wanted our faces to look like. Then, we chose different materials to use, including buttons, pipe cleaners, hessian cloth, material, string and wool.

We think they turned out pretty well!
