Oisín in Tír na nÓg: Senior Infants

We heard the story of Oisin and Niamh and Tir na nOg recently.We did freezeframes of the Fianna hunting,happy people in Tir na nOg,an upset Oisin finding his old house in ruins when he returns to Ireland and Oisin falling off his horse when he helps some men push a huge rock.




The children drew beautiful pictures of what they think Tir na nOg looks like.

Contempo String Quartet

We visited the Contempo String Quartet in the Education Centre. We listened to excerpts of classical music and looked out for varying pitch, rhythm and dynamics. Rosa was allowed to play the violin!!

Easter pots

We created pots with clay, painted them all different colours and filled them with hay and yummy eggs!
