Wednesday 20th May 2015Congratulations to Ms Weir, Ms Lineen and Mr Skelly’s 6th Class children who were confirmed last Tuesday 12 May.
Visual Arts Exhibition
Our third and fourth class children have been working with Blathnaid O'Brien Donavan, on a fantastic Visual Arts Project. The theme this year was Legends. The children worked in groups to put their stories to canvas using felt. The result is a set of fabulous visual stories. These will be exhibited for the parents of third and fourth class on June 4th from 6.30pm - 7.30pm, in our top floor gallery space. This is a great opportunity for parents to see for themselves, the hard work that their children have put into this wonderful project.
