The pupils had great fun during our recent art workshop for Easter. The children enjoyed rock painting, painted eggs, designed backgrounds for Easter pictures using oil pastels, painted with sponges, and decorated foam rabbits and eggs. It was a fantastic morning. Well done everyone!

There was great excitement on our return to school as we discovered a nest containing some baby swallows. The boys and girls have given the baby swallows names and we are enjoying watching them grow. Did you know the Irish for swallow is fáinleog? Swallows build their nests from mud. They migrate to warmer places such as Africa during the winter months. Their forked tails make them easy to identify.
