Easter Preparations

Second class have prepared and created a selection of Easter crafts.

On 20th March 2015 we witnessed a wonderful eclipse. During this time the moon covered the sun. It created a real sense of wonder and astonishment throughout the school. As the eclipse was taking place everywhere became very dark. We turned off the lights to observe this sense of darkness. All classes watched the eclipse live on the interactive whiteboards. When it was safe to do so, and there was sufficient cloud cover in the sky, classes were invited to experience the Eclipse in the outdoors. Children were given a few seconds to see the eclipse in the sky. Conditions were perfect and a big cheer was given by the children in the yard. Hopefully this will remain a very positive memory for the boys and girls and that they will remember this occasion during the next eclipse.

Seachtain na Gaeilge

Well known harpist and musician Una Flanagan, joined us in celebrating S na G 2015. She participated in a magnificent musical recital. The boys and girls throughout the school joined Una for this show and more of the children provided the dancing. It was an amazing experience. Una taught us various Irish focloir, shared some of her stories & experiences and told us some traditional Irish tales. Thank you Una.
