The Land of a Hundred Little Hills

We were invited to watch a production of "The Land of a Hundred Little Hills" in the Town Hall.

Inspired by Patrick Kavanagh's " A Christmas Childhood" poem, this is a touching story about a young boy whose life was full of wonder, fantastical adventures with his friends, and a deep connection with nature and the world around him.

However, after growing up and moving away from home, he somehow lost his wonder along the way. Can his childhood book of memories help him to rediscover it? Can he reconnect with the magic of childhood once again? 

Using a combination of live music, puppetry and animation "The Land of a Hundred Little Hills" is a joyful, moving and action-packed musical tale.






Sound and Hearing

We have been learning about sound and hearing in Science. We made some panpipes using straws.



We filled similar bottles with varying amounts of water. This created a musical scale. Mikayla played the tune "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star".
