St. Bigids Day Crosses..







On Wednesday we had a very nice man call to our classroom to show us how to make St. Brigids Day Crosses. His name was Mr. O Halloran. He told us that he had gone off on his bike early in the morning to collect rushes even though it was freezing and foggy!



When he came first he spoke to Miss. O Connells class about Italy because they are doing a new project on Italy.



Then he came into us and we all sat around him and he showed us how to make the crosses. He took lots of rushes and started to make a cross and we all helped him by holding down the rushes. He tied the ends with small elastic bands and cut them nice and tidy with a scissors. Here are some photos of our great day.
