Our 5th and 6th class pupils hosted a very successful school shop recently. They used their maths skills, communication and presentation skills and lots of creativity in developing their own business ideas. The school shop was the culmination of 8 weeks of hard work as part of the Sams Business Bus programme. Well done everyone!

During Seachtain na Gaeilge, our senior classes have been learning some traditional céilí dances during PE. The pupils enjoyed practising Shoe the Donkey (Cur Crúb ar an Asal) and The Walls of Limerick (Ballaí Luimnigh) We were very lucky to have Mr. Neary accompanying us on the accordion as we danced. Everyone had great fun taking part! ☘️

Today we were delighted to welcome Helena Golden to our school for a fantastic basket-making workshop. Third and Fourth Class had the opportunity to work with Helena to create their own handmade willow baskets. It was fascinating to learn about this traditional Irish craft and the skills involved in weaving willow. Helena also kindly showed our younger classes how to make a bird feeder using willow, which will be a lovely addition to our school garden. A big thank you to Hele

We have been exploring Pop Art. We looked at the work of Burton Morris. We looked at some of his most popular work: "Pop!" and "Coffee". We noticed how he uses bright colours and bold lines to make his art stand out. "Pop!" and "Coffee" by Burton Morris We made Valentine's hearts inspired by his work. We also looked at Andy Warhol's work. We noticed he repeats the same image in different colours to create patterns in some of his art work. Andy Warhol We made our own Andy Warh

3rd and 4th class were busy learning all about bia as Gaeilge. We practiced new vocabulary and useful phrases, wrote a pizza recipe and then put our learning into action by making our own pizzas. A fun and tasty way to bring our Gaeilge learning to life! 🍕

To celebrate St Brigid's Day we made these crosses by weaving with wool and creating colour patterns. We also read a lovely poem about St Brigid's crosses and learned about the traditions behind them.

In January, we read a poem about fireworks. We talked about exciting words to describe them and then we wrote our own verses from the firework's perspective. To bring the poem to life, we made 3D fireworks inspired by the poem, experimenting with different paper techniques.

Our Lorg Na Scealaiochta story telling trail took place in Kilglass Woods. The event was the culmination of two years of creative endeavours by our local schools. From puppet making to story writing, the Creative Cluster has been a fantastic success and a source of creative inspiration to the children in our school.
