Lá Fheile Pádraig

The boys and girls in Mrs Fagan's/Mrs Brennan's Second Class had great fun creating St Patrick's Day headbands to wear at the parade today. However you spend your St Patrick's Day, I hope you enjoy it!

Visiting Artists

Today, we had the pleasure of welcoming two local artists to the school. Ms Ciara Ferris, mother to Ella May in Ms Campbell's Second Class and Ms Kathleen Ivory, mother to Ellen in Ms Hamill's Junior Infant Class, are both secondary school art teachers. They very kindly took time out of their mid term break to share their artistic talents with our first and second classes. They chose St Valentine's Day as the theme. Some children decorated boxes and others created art to hang on the wall. The finished art will certainly put a smile on the faces of the recipients. Thank you to Ciara and Kathleen for visiting with us.

Christmas Art Display

The boys and girls from Mrs Farrell's First Class have been busy beavers over the last couple of weeks, producing Christmas art. Today, the fruits of their labour were on display in the hall for everyone to admire. Using many different art mediums - paint, coloured pencils, crayons and oils to name but a few, they created an abundance of festive artwork that can be hung in their homes or given as presents. There were penguins, Santas, robins, Christmas pyramids, Christmas candle logs, decorations with a marbling effect, paper chains, Nativity scenes and snow globes. The childrens' hard work certainly paid off as class after class visited the hall and gasped in amazement. Congratulations to all the children and Mrs Farrell. A great achievement!
