Meet the composer....
Xavier was given the challenge to compose his own piece of music. As a trad musician, he has been playing other people's pieces, now he got a chance to teach his classmates his own work!
I think you'll agree that it is lovely, we were all very impressed!
Busy 4th class....
We've been very busy lately!
We did the Food Dudes programme where we ate fruit and veg daily; and to finish, we made our own smoothies at school. They were delicious! 😋
We got new playground equipment, a swing, mud kitchen, climbing frame and workbench.
We also had a spell of fabulous weather so we got some vitamin D while playing outside.
On top of all that, Seanan from Music Generation brought his electric guitar and all the kit with him to school. We thought he looked like Elvis! he sang "Happy Birthday" to Amber and we all joined in!
Sam Maguire comes to Cavan
Cavan has a proud history in GAA with 5 All-Ireland men's senior titles and 40 Ulster championships to their name.
We got to see the famous trophy that is awarded to the winning team each year. This year the title belongs to Tyrone, but, maybe in a few years time, some of these pupils will be lifting it in Croke Park on All-Ireland Sunday!
We have our very own version of Sam Maguire in 4th class as well!
St. Brigid's Cross
We made Saint Brigid's crosses yesterday with pipe-cleaners.
Today is Saint Brigid's Day.
It is traditional to leave the cross outdoors the night before Saint Brigid's Day and she blesses them for you to use.
Lots of farmers keep St. Brigid's crosses in the sheds with their animals to keep them safe.
Senan made a proper cross at home with rushes!
