St. Brigid's Day - Lá Fhéile Bríde Yesterday was St. Brigid's day. St Brigid is one of three patron saints of Ireland, along with St. Patrick and St. Colmcille. Her feast day marks the beginning of the pastoral year, or the coming of spring. The pupils enjoyed learning about St Brigid recently and making St Brigid's Crosses.

National Storytelling Week – Coming Next Week! We're excited to celebrate National Storytelling Week with a very special programme of activities across the school! Author Visit – Ed Wicke We're delighted to welcome children's author Ed Wicke, who will be visiting the school to inspire and ignite our pupils' love of stories and imagination. Digital Storytelling Across the School As part of the week, every class will be taking part in a digital storytelling activity, increasing creative writing opportunities, while also building pupils' digital creativity and communication skills. Children will take a handson approach to develop storytelling techniques, language skills and confidence in sharing their ideas. We can't wait to see the imaginative and exciting stories our pupils produce! Keep an eye on our updates next week as we share some of the wonderful work created during this celebration of storytelling.
