check out the Scoil san nioclás bug hotel

Congratulations to the boys from third and fourth class who designed and constructed a five star hotel for the local creepy crawly community. These fantastic students gathered all the finest natural materials within their environment to create a comfortable winter vacation for these creatures. They collected moss, branches, pine cones, stones, bricks, straw and bark with the help of their mums, dads, brothers and sisters. Using recycled cable spools, they formed a tower and created a number of luxury rooms by dividing these areas using chicken wire. They finished this fine piece of architecture by decorating it with drawings of their desired clientele. 
Feel free to stop by and check out all their hard work.

Totem poles and decorative stones

As part of the Creative Schools initiative, the students in 3rd and 4th class designed and painted some totem poles. The children from infants to 2nd class gathered large, flat stones from local beaches and decorated them. These marvellous pieces of art are proudly displayed at the front of our school and have added such a vibrant and colourful feel to the place. Thank you to all involved.

Local Artist Susan Farrelly visited our school as part of the Creative Schools initiative and showed the children of 5th and 6th class artwork containing lots of geometric shapes. The children got creative and designed their own patterns and shapes to paint on the planter boxes at the front of the school. They created the shapes using tape and then painted the insides lots of different colours. The children loved being creative and enjoyed the process immensely. They turned out so beautiful! ​
