Our annual Arts Week took place from the 30th of April to the 4th of May. All the classes displayed fabulous art work in the hall based on our theme this term- 'The Four Elements'. It was a fantastic week as you will see from the video!
Conor Mullen (of Red Rock fame) did a great job opening it and loved the art work Jody White presented to him as a thank you- they even got their photo in the Northside People!
Some events were based on our theme such as the very special 'Fire Temple' and campfire in the hall and a visit by Dublin Fire Brigade. Old favourites included a visit from Maperath Farm and a percussion workshop by the National Concert Hall. Things got very competitive between the classes on the Thursday with five-a-side! We had a great end to the week with Crazy Hair Day in aid of Crumlin Children's Hospital and a wrap party in the afternoon singing-along with Matt Parsons while a lovely clown went around and made everyone a balloon animal!
Paula did a great job being interviewed about Arts Week on Near FM- you can listen to it here! http://nearfm.ie/podcast/?p=26357
Thanks to everyone who helped organise Arts Week; to families who came in to join us and to those who volunteered their time to entertain us! We are very grateful to Fingal County Council for funding the events of the week as usual.
A special thank you to Jess for putting all the footage together and creating this wonderful video; we are delighted to be able to share some of the magic of our Arts Week for the first time online!
