Christmas visit to Kilbeggan Library

Thank you to Ann Marie, librarian at Kilbeggan Library, who invited us to visit on 9th December. The library has been recently refurbished so the children had an opportunity to relax in the sensory spaces, browse through some Christmas books and see all the facilities available in the library. There are always lots of free activities for children from chess to Lego to art and crafts. Here is the link if you would like to join the library: https://westmeath.spydus.ie/cgi-bin

Crann

Thank you to Ann Marie from Crann, an organisation which promotes trees, who visited our school on Monday, 8th December. She spoke to us about the important relationship that people have with trees and we planted two trees behind the school.

Míle buíochas do Ms. Robinson for all her preparations over the past few weeks for our St. Patrick's Day celebration.

The children played 'Dawning of the Day', 'Roddy McCorley', 'Kerry Polka' and 'Bog Down in the Valley O' on their tin whistles. We listened to some beautiful singing and guitar.

The children next performed Haka Gaelach, Cha Cha Slide as Gaeilge, An Dreoilín and an Irish Reel. Then the whole school sang 'Ireland's Call' and 'Amhrán na bhFiann'. Finally, we had our own mini parade as we all marched around the school.
