The Great War
 
1914-1918
 
 
A Musical Commemoration
 
 
Mr Flynn's class completed a four week drumming workshop with Eamonn focusing on composition and performing. Eamonn is a regular visitor to Scoil Niocláis over the years and we were really looking forward to this year as we had completed a similar workshop last year. As we were studying the First World War in class we decided it would be a good idea to carry that theme through to the workshop. We decided to have three parts to our performance, the 'March to War', the 'War' and finally the 'Homecoming'. Everyone had different jobs to complete and it was a whole class project. We decided to call the performance 'The Great War Trilogy'. We hope you enjoy the following video of the final performance.

Third Class

School Tour

Trabolgan 2013

 

The good weather continued for Rang a Tri on Friday when we headed to Trabolgan for our School Tour. The buses were a little late arriving due to an earlier accident on the Kinsale Road roundabout but we soon headed to east Cork and looking forward to a great day. We were certainly not disappointed and the day turned out to be the highlight of the year. Everyone had a go on the Go-Karts, the Zip-Wire, the Combat Zone and specially the swimming pool. We arrived back at school after 6pm and were looking forward to our beds! Many thanks to the parents who accompanied the five third classes, the teachers, SNA's and especially Mr.Foley who was instrumental in organising the whole day. Enjoy the photostory of some of the photographs taken during the day.
