| Martin Hayes from Feakle |
Daylight may be getting longer this week but it was all about stars today in class . We worked on our special version of echo Twinkle leaving plenty of time to put those fingers down . We talked about events in the White House this week including Martin Hayes who played at the St Patrick's Day Party at the White House. Martin is from Feakle in East Clare and he is a very famous fiddle player . He travels all over the world to play. Our own star performer was Ellen in Mr Corry's class who played a well known Clare song Spancil Hill . Maith an cailín! Ellen Terrific! Well done also to Patrick who played the duet part of Wintertime in Russia .
We tried out a new bow grip putting our thumb inside instead of under the frog Remember Bend Your Thumb .
