Santa’s on Strike

Posted by Máistir Ó Beirn On January - 18 - 2023

It’s Christmas Eve and Santa’s in a mood!  He’s seen too many episodes of Supernanny and thinks children don’t deserve presents anymore, so he goes on strike!

As Mrs. Claus and the elves show him snapshots of family life, will he realise that Christmas is still a time of giving, caring and sharing? You bet he will, and so will you in this celebration of all that is good about Christmas… and about children!

It’s a Baby!

Posted by Máistir Ó Beirn On January - 18 - 2023

This is a traditional Christmas story with a difference! The infants’ play is set at Bethlehem Inn and told from the perspective of a weary innkeeper, who finds he’s in for a sleepless night. He has many guests at his inn but two in particular are really special!

The Toy Show – Gortskehy Style

Posted by Ms. Thomas On November - 30 - 2022

Toy show night is one of the most magical nights in the life of a child. 3rd and 4th class took this to a whole new level on Friday, when we presented our very own toy inventions to the junior classes in our school.

We worked hard all week planning, designing, and creating our toys. We set up our very own studio and demonstrated our toys for the younger children. We created a Lego World Cup stadium model,  a sweet dispenser, a horse box, a party bus with flashing lights, a Pokemon robot, and we even made Santa’s Sleigh!

It was a very magical day in our classroom! Here is a snippet of our work!
