Third Class has been getting creative with self portraits, name art and acrostic poems. We drew ourselves and added pictures of things that matter to us. We also turned the letters of our names into colourful artwork. For our acrostic poems, we used each letter of our names to begin a line about ourselves. Our display is full of different faces, interests and ideas. It is a lovely way to get to know the people in our class!

Third Class has been learning about myths and legends through the Irish story The Children of Lir. We talked about the characters and the magical part of the story, then practised retelling it in our own words. The story inspired our art display. We painted paper plates to make the water and sky, added colourful shapes, and created swans with soft cotton feathers. Each pupil made their own version of the scene. We hope you enjoy looking at our Children of Lir artwork!

Inspired by the balloons in the sky, the children painted blue backgrounds, added fluffy cotton wool clouds and use

They have been an important part of our school community, and their presence, energy and friendship will be greatly missed. We are incredibly proud of each and every one of them and all they have achieved. As they begin the exciting next chapter

Collaborating in teams, the children used their creativity and coding knowledge to bring their models to life and make them move. They produced some very impressive creations!

Fourth Class became county experts as each student chose an Irish county to research and explore in detail. They discovered fascinating facts about landmarks, history, culture, sport, and geography before presenting their findings on beautifully designed posters.
