it was a great success. At the end Rudolph found Finlo's nose!
At the end of the
play their parents were very proud of their children. A DVD is available
of the performance at £5.00 in St Patrick’s Primary School. A collection
for St Vincent De Paul was taken at the end of the play. They are

Finlo and The Nose
That Grows Legs
The Primary Five pupils of
Saint
Patrick’s Primary School each put on a Christmas Play. It took place in
the Key Stage Two Gym on Thursday the 17th of December 2009
at 10:00 am. It’s about a circus and a VERY upset clown. The Key Stage
Two Gym was lit up with all the BEAUTIFUL
costumes.
It was
Christmas time and the children wanted to show
their parents
their talents. They also wanted to say thank you for all the people who
helped them through out the year. They prepared this play with the help
of the teachers, Miss Cassidy, Miss Mc Swiggan and Master Muldoon.
The children
loved the attention from the parents. Finlo the clown said, “I loved
doing this show and it was fun singing and dancing with all my friends."

Christmas
Circus
Master Muldoon’s
P5 class outstandingly performed their Christmas play Finlo on Friday
the 18th of December at 10am in St Patrick's PS KS2 Gym. It
made a magical atmosphere for the Christmas season.
The children of Master Muldoon’s class did this play because it was a
tradition. They had a long process to go through before performing for
the parents, they firstly volunteered for their parts, and then getting
their scripts. They learnt their lines and the songs everyday. They had
to use expression and their imaginations. They practiced daily. They had
to project their voices, know their lines and actions. They all knew
what to do and all they were waiting for were the costumes that Miss
Campbell had ordered. When they got their costumes they performed for
the P1's, P2's and P4's.They performed like professionals. Finally they
performed for their parents; they generously gave money to St Vincent De
Paul.
The
parents all agreed it was a brilliant performance. Their favourite part
was Fergus’s Flying Flee Circus but their favourite character was Mega
Mike because he was cool and quite funny. Master Muldoon had this to
say, “The play went according to plan they knew their lines and actions.
The costumes suited them also they were bright and colourful. I’m sure
they're looking forward to the Christmas holidays because I
am. "

Cool Class
Circus
Master Muldoon’s P.5 pupils performed their Christmas play Finlo, in the
KS2 gym on Friday 17th December 2009 at 10am.
Children from Master Muldoon’s class finished a marvellous Christmas
play. But firstly he called out the characters and they volunteered for
each part. He put their names in a magic hat and got one of the pupils
to pick out a name to see who got the part. Soon they got their lines to
learn. They went for practices daily in the KS2 and KS1 gym. When they
went for practices the teachers said that they had to show expression,
to project their voices, to do their actions and to sing out loud. They
had to come out at the right at the right time. Excitedly they got their
costumes; all of them were very creative.
Next they had a brilliant dress
rehearsal and performed in front of the P1, P2 and P4. Patiently they
waited until at last they got to do their Christmas play in front of
their parents.
Nevertheless, the children's favourite part was
when Finlo threw the bucket of water at the parents. All of the parents
said the play was very good. Parents thought that the music and the
singing were very good. And the costumes were extraordinary. Master
Muldoon the class teacher said it took courage do this.

Bard’s
Account of the Battle with Smaug
I
could see Smaug’s plan was to burn the town. I didn’t care if the Master
left, I was going to save the town!
I
had fired all my arrows except the Black Arrow.
Suddenly out of the dark something fluttered to my shoulder it was a
Thrush from the Rush of Dale.
The Thrush said, “Wait! The moon is rising, look at his left breast for
the weak spot!”
I
drew my bow to my ear and spoke to my arrow, “I have saved you until
last you have never failed me, go now and don’t let me down”
As the
dragon swooped I let the arrow go and I waited. A few minutes later it
hit Smaug’s left breast and Smaug crashed to the ground with a roar!
