Something very exciting happened in P3/2 and p2/1 last term. One very rainy afternoon, while the children were at assembly, a dragon visited the playroom. A scroll was left for the children, asking them to help the friendly dragon to rebuild fairyland so that all the fairytale characters would have a new home. This is where the magic began…..
The children worked extremely hard to bring the fairytales back to life and in doing so have developed skills and achieved success in literacy, numeracy and expressive art.
To showcase their work two events were held at the school. On Monday 8th September, Fairyland was officially opened by Mr McDermott (HT) and parents were invited for a “champagne” reception followed by an array of activities to enjoy with their child.
The children showed their parents all of their work, and participated in lots of activities like castle building, making gingerbread men and putting on a puppet show. The afternoon was a great success and the children recieved lots of positive feedback.
During the October break, the children all received an invitation from the friendly dragon, to attend ‘Cinderella’s Royal Ball’. The children arrived at school in the evening dressed as their favourite fairytale character, and were amazed at the transformation of their dining hall and gym hall. The children performed a royal ballroom dance for their parents and guests and there was not a dry eye in the house.
