We welcomed Aidan from S.E.A.I. to our school. Aidan taught us about energy around us and how energy is used everywhere in our world! We are working on our Global Citizenship - Energy Flag

Thank you so much to Athlone Education Centre for giving us the opportunity to participate in the wonderful BLAST programme. Our school was paired with Helen, who specialises in drama, dance and film. She worked with us for four days to introduce the pupils to the world of film making. The children learned all about the different shots that film directors use. In small groups, they prepared a story board of their film and then set about becoming actors, directors and camera people! The pupils produced three very different movies - 'Bob, the turkey and the homeless man', 'Bad Magic' and 'Christmas Attack'. We definitely have some future film directors in our midst!

Last Friday we held Family Day in our school as part of our Catholic Schools Week celebrations. Thank you to all the parents and grandparents who attended. The pupils led a prayer service and sang 'This is the Day' and 'Circle of Friends', accompanied by Ms. Reid on keyboard. A huge thank you to Ms. Carey who has been teaching the children the tin whistle and practising daily for this occasion. They played 'Killeagh', 'The Dawing of the Day', 'The Kerry Polka', 'Roddy McCorley' and 'Bog Down in the Valley-O'. Finally, thank you to the parents for organising the refreshments afterwards. It was a beautiful occasion for our whole school community.
