Good Morning , it’s Friday 13th and contrary to belief, its not an unlucky day at all.
Its a fine time to remind myself of the joys this past seven days have brought. And, of course, some of the questions marks that arise from just sheer living. One of those question marks happened to be the cold I am sniffling away with. I could not for the life of me figure out how I got it, then like a small bolt of lightening, I was reminded that I have been spending a considerable about of time in a classroom with 32 children and the windows closed. It was like an incubation centre in there. so lo and behold, I have a cold. Bless them
The children have worked very hard at making St Patrick decorations:we have 32 tunics made from wallpaper with the crest of each county and the county colors on the back, 64 wrist bands with Celtic designs to compliment the tunic, 32, tricoloured head banners to also go with the outfit, 64 tricoloured pompoms to shake in the air, 30 flags on sticks, 12 snakes to tie to end of children’s legs with fishing line and be dragged along because St Patrick himself follows the school kids at the end of the parade! we have a banner announcing the school and a banner saying farewell and see you in 2010!
Lots of stuff , and hard work in only 7 classes.
We’re in a spot of bother though. All of the clubs and groups in Drumshanbo are marching in the parade and that means that in Mr Kanes’ class (who did all of the art work) there are only 4 children marching with their school- every else is walking with the football club or the whistle group or the horse club or the dancing group! don’t know what we’re going to do!!!!
