3rd and 4th classes created these wonderfully spooky paintings, mixing white, blue and black paints.  

3rd and 4th classes were invited to the village to help decorate the village with locally grown pumpkins!

Christmas is magical here in Scoil Bhríde, Mountnugent and we want to share that magic with you! 3rd & 4th class have been getting all set and ready for Christmas during the month of December. We’ve been doing some Christmas Art, decorating our classroom, playing some Christmas songs/games and visited the crib in the parish church. We also performed some Christmas songs and jingles for our parents on Thursday 15th December. We sang ‘Rockin Around the Christmas Tree’, It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas, a poem called The Fourth Wise Man, Snow is falling and Rudolph the red nosed reindeer. We had great fun performing for our familes and everyone enjoyed being back together again for the annual Christmas performances. We went for a walk down to our beautifully decorated village were we saw all the beautiful Christmas decorations created by local people. It really got us into the Christmas spirit! We would like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

During the month of November, we celebrated Kindness. In class, we talked about how to be kind to one another, ways of being and kind and how to promote kindness within our school. For our art lesson, we created kindness posters with various quotes to promote kindness within the school!

In Art, we created an Autumn display. We talked about the different types of trees and the animals preparing to hibernate. We went on a nature walk around the school with Mrs. McEvoy and collected different types of leaves for our art. We placed the various leaves on the paper and painted around them using autumnal colours to create an outline for each leaf. We also created hedgehogs for our Autumn display. Students coloured in hedgehogs, cut them out and stuck them onto a blue background. They also cut out triangles from different coloured card (red, orange and yellow) to represent the leaves that have fallen from the trees. The triangles were glued around the hedgehog to show the hedgehog hibernating amongst the leaves.

3rd and 4th class had a great day in their Halloween costumes playing games and learning about Halloween traditions. A huge effort was made with all the costumes this year and everyone looked fantastic (although some were scary!) To end the day, we watched a scary movie with some treats. Happy Halloween!
