We discovered that they lived in roundhouses, were skilled farmers and warriors, and were talented craftspeople who worked with iron. We also learned how important storytelling, traditions, and art were in Celtic society. The children collaborated in groups to create wonderful projects based on different aspects of Celtic life. It was great to see everyone working togethe

Using their STEM skills, the Fourth Class children worked collaboratively to plan, design, and create their own wildlife bridges. They showed great creat

Ms Doherty’s class have been very busy exploring the wonderful country of Spain! They learned lots of interesting facts and made many connections between Spain and Ireland. They discovered that Spain, like Ireland, is in Europe and also uses the euro as its currency. They found out about delicious traditional foods like paella and explored many Spanish buildings. The children were particularly amazed by the beautiful Sagrada Família and hope to visit it someday! 💛❤️

This week in Ms. Doherty’s room, we got creative and made beautiful heart wreaths to celebrate Valentine’s Day! We used bright colours, fun patterns, and lots of imagination to design their own unique wreaths. We can’t wait to give our special wreaths to someone we love! 💕

Happy Valentine’s Day from Second Class🥰

Second Class have been busy creating lots of beautiful art pieces this term. We learned about some star constellations, which we have all tried to recognise in the night sky. We combined a starry night with Vincent Van Gogh’s cat and we really loved learning all about the Winter Olympics.

Catholic Schools Week was celebrated from the 18th-24th January under the theme, “Normal Lives, Called to Holiness”. Students took part in prayer, fun activities and acts of kindness that remind us how we live out our values every day. Each day, the Student Council shared thoughtful reflections over the intercom.

“St. Brigid of Ireland, help us, we pray, to be kind and loving in our work and play.” Second Class enjoyed weaving some beautiful St Brigid’s cloaks and we loved making our own crosses to hang over the door in our homes. Thank you to Sixth Class for helping us to weave our crosses.

St. Brigid’s Crosses in Ms Doherty’s Room 💚 In preparation for St. Brigid’s Day, our 6th class pupils visited Ms Doherty’s class to help the children make St Brigid’s crosses. Everyone had great fun working together and helping one another. What a special way to mark St. Brigid’s Day!

The children in the First Class room have been very busy exploring inspiring figures, starting with local Mayo astronaut Norah Patten. They created rocket ship artwork inspired by her story and love of space. The children also learned about artist Andy Warhol and made another art piece using his bold, colourful style, enjoying experimenting with bright colours and patterns. Their creativity is truly out of this world! 🚀🎨
