On Thursday we started to knit. Kate and Sinead came to teach us. Sinead taught the back table and Kate taught the left hand side table. I went on Kate’s table she started me off and taught me how to knit. We are also doing French knitting and the tree that is outside our classroom we are yarn bombing.
We were thrilled to be hosts to this quartet of musicians from Lyric F.M yesterday. They played a selection of classical pieces; from Vivaldi, Pachelbel and Mozart to Strauss and Saint Saens.
Gerry (the cello player) told us how he came to be a cellist; and we learned how to sing the Lyric jingle: s d l f r s t d
The instruments played were, the flute, the keyboard, the violin, the viola and the cello (with a short surprise piece on the ukulele!)
Boys and girls and teachers from 3rd to 6th class were entertained for nearly an hour before we had to say goodbye and help them pack up (thanks 6th class girls!)
We sent them away with the beautiful banner that you can see in the video: 6th class made it specially and we hope they will hang it somewhere special!
