We are delighted to be taking part in the Music Generation Ceol na nÓg music programme this year in 1st and 2nd class.  Through a weekly workshop, pupils will have the opportunity to explore the world of music through fun and interactive activities with a highly experienced musical tutor, Gráinne Hambly.

This month, through the theme of Autumn, the lesson focused on integrating creative movement activities through music.  As you can see from the photos, the girls and boys really enjoyed using the scarves as Autumn leaves to explore different musical concepts.  Maith sibh, a chaillíní & a bhuachaillí.

Our Christmas prayer service, featuring pupils from all classes was broadcast live from Carras Church which looks absolutely fantastic and is a credit to all involved. Happy Christmas everyone.

We had a great 4 weeks learning guitar with Jason Moyles recently.

We started by learning how to tune our guitars using a tuner and our ear. We then learned 4 chords and have been practising a lot at home.

This extra-curricular activity has complemented our work in the creative schools project where our overall theme is music and performance.

Jason is a wonderfully talented musician and guitar player and it was a pleasure for the children to work with him. He has been very generous with his time and we are very thankful to him.

To complete our Christmas concert in @Garrymore the pupils sang Daidí na Nollag, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, Do You Hear What I Hear?, We Wish You a Merry Christmas and Merry Christmas Everyone. The children performed so well and we are all very proud of them.
