African Drumming

Every Monday over the next 6 weeks each class will engage in African Drumming workshops.

They will be introduced to basic rhythmic concepts of West African and world percussion through drumming, chanting, body percussion, call and response and storytelling.

Using the West African Djembe (pronounced djem – bay) students assemble in the drum circle.

Children will connect to rhythm and sound using a variety of percussion instruments, bells and shakers. 

The first workshop was enjoyed by all children and we are really looking forward to the next few weeks.

Halloween Parade 2021

What a day!! 

Our annual Halloween Parade took place on Friday the 22nd of October this year.  All the children put in a huge effort and it was one we certainly won’t forget.

Our parade took place on our school track this year and it was fantastic entertainment. There was an abundance of creativity, colour and fun on display as each class walked a lap of the track. 

Prizes were awarded to pupils with the best costumes made from recycled material. The judges had a tough job on their hands to pick award winners.

Huge credit must go to all who helped create such magnificent costumes, the standard was truly amazing. Well done to everybody!

We raised €120 for Pieta House through this fun dress-up walk around the school track this year. Thank you to all who supported this worthy cause.  

We hope all pupils, parents and staff enjoy a well-earned rest during the midterm break.

Happy Halloweensmile

The Dot – Make your mark and see where it takes you

Over our art exhibition area, you will notice an array of colourfully designed dots.  Recently each pupil of our school decorated a dot any way they wished.

All these colourful dots were collected and put on display by Ms. O’Regan to form part of a whole school art piece called “The Dot – Make your make and see where it takes you”.

Well done to all on your amazing creations.
