Congratulations to boys who won prizes in Credit Union Art Competition. Prizes will be presented in the Credit Union on Tues. Dec. 4th at 7.30pm
We were looking at various hat designs this week for Art. We learned about Philip Treacy, an Irish hat maker from Galway who has become a very successful milliner! A milliner is a person who makes hats for ladies and a hatter makes hats for men, just like the Mad Hatter in Alice in Wonderland! Philip Treacy has designed hats for lots of famous people from Lady Gaga to Harry Potter. We loved looking at all the different designs and got inspiration for our own!
We also learned where the phrase as mad as a hatter came from…ask your son to fill you in! 🙂
Philip Treacy has some stiff competition from Miss Callaghan’s class!
Have a look at the different patterns we came up with…
Congratulations to Cian in first class who won the “Student of the Week” award this week!! Cian won the award for always being very well behaved and kind to others. To add to all this Cian was an excellent help during our bakery lesson this week, he was like a proper kitchen porter!! Well done Cian. 
A huge congratulations goes out to all the boys who auditioned for this years school stars. In all, 7 acts from the school auditioned which included singers, bands, singer/song writers and comedians. They did the school very proud and I hope they gained a lot from the experience. The standard at auditions was extremely high but our lads still shone through, with four acts going through and the others very narrowly missing out.
In total 3000 boys and girls from the east coast of Ireland auditioned and we are now down to the final 20. I am very proud to announce that we have two acts left, Calum Agnew and Finn Fitzgerald. This is a huge achievement and the two lads will now be performing for Louis Walsh in the final. They are two very different acts: Calum was described by one of the judges as “A little Ed Sheeran”, while Finn was told he was a “Ready made popstar”.
I would like to wish them both the very best of luck in the final on the 4th of December and to know that the whole school is behind them and extremely proud of them too.
Go n-eirí an bóthar libh!
