African Drumming

For the last few weeks we have been trying out African Drumming. It has been so much fun. Patrick is our drumming teacher. We learned about the different sounds an African drum can make and all the different rhythms you cam play on the drums.

The Sun is Shining!

What a beautiful day we had today. The sun was shining!  A perfect day to go visit the Lough near our school. First we took a trip into the church where we looked at the stained glass windows and the altar. Then we said a prayer to Holy Mary as May is the month of Mary.

Next we set off to the Lough where we played in the playground and saw the swans and the ducks. We even saw some really cute ducklings.

We were exhausted at the end of our walk so we all lay down for a rest in the shade before heading back to school.

Long may the sun shine! 🙂
