He’s done it again! Tommy Lang in 4th Class has made yet another outstanding stop-motion video! This one is all about a day at the beach, and the work of the coastguard.

I have been working with Mr. Kinsella to make a stop motion animation. First we planned our story and then we wrote it. After I corrected and edited it we made a list of everything we needed to make it. Filming started last week and we hope to have it finished before Easter and up on the blog. In the meantime I hope you enjoy the trailer! By Jordan Farrell IMG 0159[1] from St Peter's, Bray on Vimeo.

3rd Class have been learning the song ‘My Hat Has Three Corners’. The song was written about a particular style of hat that had three corners. The melody was composed by a German composer called Franz Schubert. It is an action song that gets progressively harder as we had to leave our certain words in each verse and replace it with actions. Here is a short video of Szymon, Finn and Chris trying the action song for themselves. Well done boys! IMG 0022[1] from St Peter’s, Bray on Vimeo.
