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.

6th Class have had a great start to the year and have been working really hard. At the moment, we are learning all about how Ireland gained its independence. We made a short video all about the 1916 Rising. Click on the link to check it out!

The 1916 Rising

Before the Easter holidays, the fantastic Student Council organised a fundraiser in aid of the Irish Red Cross Ukraine Crisis Appeal.

Everyone wore blue and yellow to show our support and together we raised over €400!!

We are very proud of the amazing support of everyone in Rutland St. NS for such a worthy cause.

Thank you everyone for your incredible generosity.

3rd class have been very busy so far this term. We celebrated Chinese New Year, St. Brigid’s Day, Seachtain na Gaeilge and St. Patrick’s Day. Everyone has been working hard and having lots of fun! In PE we have been learning how to play basketball. 3rd class have also been doing swimming lessons this term and the class are really enjoying it and making big improvements. We hope everyone has a Happy St Patrick’s Day! Lá Fhéile Pádraig Shona Duit!

Art Club runs every Thursday for the boys and girls in 5th and 6th class. In the first week the children made Kimmy Cantrell inspired cardboard relief masks. We decided to replicate his artwork and make our own relief masks using cardboard.

The boys and girls also took inspiration from Picasso’s portraits when making their own asymmetrical artworks!

Since then, the children have looked at artists such as Jackson Pollock, Keith Haring, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and Linder Sterling. 

We have spent time making papier-mâché animals, creating self-portrait collages and the children even helped the Elf in Junior Infants decorate their classroom window in time for Christmas! What a fantastic bunch of artists!
