This month we will be working on clay models. We hope to make stop animation films based on the adventures of our new creations. Here's a promising start to the project by Izabela Cyranska

we have been taking some inspiration from the classic Morph series of shorts which will be familiar to people of a certain vintage


Here is the first draft of Penguin Adventure by Kasia Dabrowska and Zuzanna Lazuga.

We're back in the trenches but nothing eases you into the misery of a cold Irish January than a warm breakfast, in this case a French breakfast.

The children have been discovering beaucoup about France this month so we thought it would be nice to celebrate French culture by sampling some of their cuisine. The nearest thing to a French breakfast you may have got to at school was being force-fed a snail by the school nuisance but not our epicurean culture vultures!!

The girls enjoyed heated pain-au-chocolat, brioche and croissants, smothered in jam and washed down with hot chocolate, drank traditionally, from a bowl. The more adventurous sampled pâté and a variety of cheeses, including cave-aged Roquefort, which we all agreed smelled of feet.

Some of the most bizarre facts we discovered about France are that it is illegal to call a pig Napoleon and that you can legally marry somebody after they have died!!

Cooked from scratch; pre-heat oven to 100, open packet, bung in then leave for five minutes et voilà!!

Getting stuck in!

Drinking from a bowl is trés chique!
