I look out the window and I see a bright star.
Then I walk away because I need to finish my bar.
When I am finished I go to bed because right now I am a bit of a sleepy head.
When I woke up all I could see was snow and when I went outside there was a very strong winterly blow.
I went inside to get my hat and I said goodbye to my fat cat.
When I went back out I heard a really loud shout.
It was just my mammy calling to stop my brother bawling.

I waited for Santa as I drank my Fanta,
 I heard a lot of noise maybe it was the boys
 playing with their new toys.
 I put on my hat and said goodbye to my fat cat.
 I went out to give Santa a slappin’ because I heard from an elf that he’d been nappin’.
 But instead I saw a girl beating Santa with a hurl,
 I returned to my house to bake a cake.
A robin helped me out so I gave him a bobbin.
But he ate all my puddin’ so I gave him a whoopin’.

It was November,
no wait it was December,
Oh yes it was very cold,
the children were very bold so I said look it’s Santa!
Where? says one I ONLY see Fanta!
As I run away I notice animals hibernating,
And Leaves slowly disintegrating,
And I thought “poor old robin”,
So I gave him my lucky bobbin,
Then ran home just in time for pudding,
But me ma still gave me a whooping,
So I went to see Santa,
Who sent me to visit Setanta,
Who lived in ATHLANTA!
Where I bought a cat,
Which was VERY fat,
But he was a star,
So I named him FINBAR!!!

I came out of my room, my mum was sweeping with her broom.
I went to check on my elf who was sitting on the shelf.
I got on my coat and hat to go feed my fat cat.
I looked outside the window, and what did I see … SNOW.
I fed my cat and out I went, I got absolutely drenched.
I made a little snowman and I called him George.
I built him a house, a nice size for a mouse.
I went inside his little home it was shaped like a dome.
I was called to go inside, my little snow man cried.
I said goodbye to my snow friend, I went inside and hit the bed.
I had so much fun that night, I hope George is still in sight.

WHAT IS THAT NOISE? 
Might IT BE THE BOY’S PLAYING WITH THEIR NEW TOYS? 
 
WHAT IS THAT SLURPING of Fanta?

WHAT IS THAT SOUND OF A PUFFIN?
COULD IT BE DAD EATIN’ A MUFFIN?
 
WHAT IS THAT BLOWIN’
IS IT SNOWIN’??
 
WHAT IS THAT ON THE SHELF?
IS IT SANTA DRINKING FANTA, WHILE WATCHEG A PUFFIN EATIN’ A MUFFIN BUT what is holding them up, might it be a small little elf!!!!!!

I see the winds blowing, I think it must be snowing.
I make my Christmas cake, hopefully my hands won't shake.

As Mary sits in the manger she thinks of nature’s danger.
Oh, I think I see a light, it must be Santa on his flight.
Up in the North Pole the vigorous winds blow.

In Santa’s cabin all the elves are dabbin, while Santa’s rappin.
I went home lookin for some puddin and I got a whoopin with no puddin.

So I flew up to Santa, he sent me to Setanta who lived in Ethlanta,
Even there I could hear Cian yelling at Colm to GET ME
AAAA FFFFAAAAANNNNNTTTTAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lego WeDo, what is it? Well it is a technical Lego device you can programme to do what you code it to do.
It is an educational coding app you can get on your tablet or laptop. It is good for Lego lovers looking for something new or maybe not- you might just want to try something different, either way it is great fun.
You programme it in the app. You have a tray to put the Lego in. In the app you must connect the core piece which must have 2 AA batteries. Then you connect the tablet or laptop to the core which you need Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
Now you pick a robot to build and click on it and press START BIULD then you start construction. You get the blocks from the tray. You can programme it to change colour, move around or spin and make sounds. It is pretty simple anyways.
It is really fun, easy and educational. It was my first time with technical Lego. I thought it would be hard but is was and very smooth.

Lego We Do is a technical device that does as you please.
 
It is an educational, interactive robotic system. You will need to get the free app on an ipad or laptop. The app will show the instructions of how to build what you have picked.
 
Then you put in the batteries. You will need Wifi and you will need to connect it to Bluetooth. Then you start programming.
 
You can programme it to make noise, record sound, change colour and move. Then you can break it and make something else.
 
We just started using it in school. It is not too hard and not too easy. I recommend using Lego We Do if you like programming
