Look at our animations!
The children loved their Zoom workshop with animator John D Ruddy. He presented key topics such as the 1916 Rising and the War of Independence in an entertaining animated form.
The children then sketched a scene from the Irish Civil War playing close attention to detail such as they type of clothes the soldiers wore (imagine wearing 3 piece suit!), their ammunition.
I think they turned out really well.
Thanks John we really enjoyed your inspirational workshop!

Secret Santa!
Oh what fun we had today! 5th and 6th Class unwrapped their Secret Santa gifts. They each had a name of another person in their class and got each other such thoughtful and funny gifts! So much fun and it was a great feeling to open a present early. Practice run for Christmas morning!!

The boys and girls in 3rd and 4th class decided to make Christmas cards for the residents of Aras Mhic Suibhne in Mullinasole. The had some very thoughtful messages in them and they wrote a little about themselves too! We hope the residents enjoy them.

Our Elf Harry
Harry the Elf has arrived in First and Second class. He appeared in a glass jar and left a note to say he was in quarantine. Yesterday he made a dramatic escape from quarantine on a tight rope and surprised the class after lunch break! He has already messed up the storeroom but was captured by our art snowmen! He has informed us that he will be reporting back to Santa every day!!

How many more sleeps until Santa comes?
Ask someone is 3rd or 4th Class and they're sure to know!
The children in Miss Mc Gill's class are filling in Santa's beard each morning and cannot wait until they get to the bottom row.

Penpals
We are buzzing about our new penpals! We have linked up with 5th and 6th Class in Kilglass N.S. near Ballinasloe, Co Galway. The children in our school were really excited to receive their first letter this week. We have written back and our letters are currently winging their way to Co Galway! Looking forward to our next letter already!

Look at our animations!
The children loved their Zoom workshop with animator John D Ruddy. He presented key topics such as the 1916 Rising and the War of Independence in an entertaining animated form.
The children then sketched a scene from the Irish Civil War playing close attention to detail such as they type of clothes the soldiers wore (imagine wearing 3 piece suit!), their ammunition.
I think they turned out really well.
Thanks John we really enjoyed your inspirational workshop!
More of his animated history videos are available on https://johndruddy.com/videos-2/

First and Second class had a fantastic Nature Walk. They explored all areas of the school grounds and local vicinity and found so many interesting bugs, leaves and flowers. The children then brought the items back to the class and were able to see the mini beasts up close! Have a look at the beautiful artwork they produced using the items collected on the Nature Walk.
