On a rainy Tuesday, 5th class took a short walk to the Fighting Words offices near our school. We met a lady called Aifric who asked us lots of questions and helped us plan out our story.

Then we went into groups and made our own stories by ourselves.

There was a ‘cranky’ editor who had to give approval for our story and decide if he would print it or not.

We were lucky and he decided it was so good he would print it! We all left with or very own copy. I would like to be an author one day.

Today 6th class was busy doing art. We were doing German pop art.

First we printed our portraits and then we had to trace over them.

We used the windows to help us trace.

We are then going to make dots with markers to make them look like pop art.

Check our website later to see the finished product!

We are so excited to have our Scholastic Book Fair returning next week.
As always there will be books for all ages, all interests and all price ranges.
Children will be able to visit the Fair from Monday 18th until Friday 22nd of November.

6th Class had a fantastic morning in Glasnevin Cemetery today. Pat was our tour guide and he told us all about Micheal Collins and how he helped make the Catholic Emancipation. He also showed us the graves of Eamon De Valera and Countess Markievicz.

Katriona O’Sullivan came to Rutland NS last week to share her experiences with the staff.  We were joined by staff from other local schools for a wonderful afternoon listening to Katriona share her story and remind us all of the impact education can have on children.  Thanks for sharing your story with us Katriona!
