Follow the story of our Christmas play, The Match Girl's Christmas. We thoroughly enjoyed retelling Hans Christian Andersen's Match Girl intertwined with the Nativity. We were busy doing some Christmas art work behind the scenes!

We were very lucky today to have former Arsenal player and Galway native Stephen O'Donnell in to talk to us today. Stephen spoke about his time at Arsenal, playing against Roy Keane in Scotland, scoring a historic penalty in Europe and winning league titles in Ireland. Stephen also emphasised the importance of working hard in whatever you want to achieve and about concentrating on your education also. We really enjoyed his visit. Maybe he will come back to give us some tips when the astro turf is opened in the New Year! The School Choir accompanied by Ms. Maura Walsh sang a selection of lovely Christmas Carols in the tent with 'The Live Crib'. The Traditional Irish Music Group also played a selection of carols and festive tunes. We really enjoyed the whole performance and hope our audience did too!!

We recently studied the Normans in our history lessons. We learned about many aspects of their lives and their lifestyle. One area we studied was their castles and we had lots of fun working in groups to recreate a model of a Norman castle. Take a look at our work... With food dudes being so popular with our class we decided to make smoothies this morning. We used lots of healthy and delicious ingredients such as apples, oranges, cucumber, berries, bananas, yoghurt and nuts. We really liked making them and drinking them and we are full of energy for the day! We learned lots about the Normans in History. We then made our own Norman castles using images of Norman castles around Ireland for inspiration. We are proud of how they turned out. |
