SACRED SPACE
ADVENT 2021
During the four weeks of Advent, we are trying hard to prepare well for Christmas. Our Sacred Space is depicting our Advent Good Deeds tree and also our Advent Wreath. It reminds us of the good deeds we can do to prepare for the birthday of Jesus. These good deeds will be a lovely present for baby Jesus on Christmas morning. We are tidying our toys, setting the table, doing our homework without a fuss. Junior and Senior Infants have made beautiful Advent wreaths and 5th and 6th have written some beautiful Advent poetry.
IN NOVEMBER WE REMEMBER OUR DEPARTED FRIENDS AND FAMILY
The names of those we have loved who are now in heaven, are recorded on our purple hearts and placed on the various remembrance trees around the school.
MAY IS THE MONTH OF MARY
We will do our best to recite a decade of the Rosary every day during Our Lady's special month of May.
LENT 2021
It was pretty hard to give up nice things such as sweets during Lent this year, but we did our best. We also tried to do a good deed each day such as setting the table, tidying our toys, doing our homework without a fuss!
CATHOLIC SCHOOLS' WEEK 2021
Snowdrops and daffodils make an appearance to cheer us. We celebrate the feast of St. Brigid and St. Blaise. We love the St. Brigid's cross installation at the roundabout.
