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! 🚀🎨

Our Junior and Senior Infants have been busy transforming our corridors again into vibrant galleries of creativity. Inspired by themes of disco, emotion, and famous artists like Jackson Pollock, the children explored colour, movement, and self-expression. Each piece celebrates individuality, imagination, and the joy of making art. The Valentine’s displays beautifully showcase pattern, design, and a whole lot of heart. We are so proud of our young artists and the confidence an

Over the past two weeks, our school corridor has blossomed with Kusama-inspired flowers. These flowers are bold, spotty, and bursting with confidence, just like our artists. Our Mondrian-style butterflies flapped in with perfect lines and colours, proving that Junior and Senior Infants can balance creativity and geometry with style. We also reached for the skies with our beautiful shooting stars, inspired by the story How to Catch a Star by our favourite author, Oliver Jeff

This week in class, we have been busy exploring 3D shapes, learning their names, faces, edges, and corners. The children especially enjoyed spotting 3D shapes in the world around them. Today was the highlight of the week as we got hands-on and made our own cubes. There was lots of careful discussion, teamwork, and a little bit of excitement at the final result! They turned out great!

The children in the First Class room have been extremely busy creating festive art and decorations alongside warming up the sleigh for Santa. Merry Christmas from us all! 🎄✨

Santa left his sleigh behind him on Tuesday!! 😂🤣

What a busy few weeks we’ve had in our infant classroom! Little hands have been snipping, painting, glittering, and giggling as we explore the magic of winter art. From waddling penguins to jolly Christmas pieces, creativity has certainly been sparkling brighter than tinsel! The children have tried new textures, colours, and techniques, proudly showing off their growing artistic confidence. Each piece is unique, joyful, and brimming with seasonal spirit. Well done everyone!

5th and 6th class had a great day out playing tag rugby in Coolaney, hosted by Ross at Connaught Rugby with Geevagh NS also in attendance. The day was full of brilliant tries and try saving tackles. The future of Irish rugby is bright.
