We are thrilled in The Violets that Christmas is upon us! We had such a super fun month, despite all the inevitable changes to our normal hectic festive schedule in SNU! We had a Santa visit, a lovely online carol service and really enjoyed recording our own version of the hit song 'It's Beginning to Look a Lot like Christmas' and performed it for the school on the Student Council section of the website. We did some awesome Christmas art and we even wrote a Christmas card each to every resident of two local nursing homes just so they might feel a little less lonely this year in particular with COVID restrictions in place. We thoroughly enjoyed our Christmas Jumper Day also. We worked hard and had lots of fun this term. Here's to a new year and new possibilities ahead! Stay Safe Everyone! Happy Christmas and Lots of love from all of us in Room 43 x

With Winter closing in, we in Room 43 felt it was time to start thinking of all the little birdies who decide to stick around these parts for these cold months, and how we can help them. What started as a simple enough task to make little feeders with lollipop sticks, became a much more substantial and amazing project, as our resident craftsman extraordinaire Joe very kindly offered us his help. Over the course of a few weeks, Joe and the pupils of Room 43 created the most fabulous and sustainable feeders with the use of glue guns, varnish and other materials. Each group of children created their own design and as you can see from the gallery below, we will have some lucky and well fed little birdies flocking to Scoil Na Naomh Uilig for a feast!!
