String Quartet Win!

Newsflash!
Our first John Scottus String Quartet took part in a new Music Festival held at Aravon School in Bray yesterday, 6th June. There were six competitors in the ‘Mixed Ensemble’ contest and the adjudicator was Alan Smale, leader of the RTE Symphony orchestra. Our quartet gave a beautiful performance of ‘Minuet and Trio’ by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart – and were placed first!

4th Class Boys Trip to Bray Head






Form 2 Boys Art

"We have been learning about the artist Wassily Kandinsky and have really enjoyed creating our own abstract art"

"We have also been finding out the Claude Monet and we created our own version of The Poppy Fields"

The latest artist that we have been learning about is Vincent Van Gogh and we really love his famous painting of sunflowers, so much so, that we decided to create our own artwork depicting sunflowers through collage!"

THE LITTLE CHOCOLATE LAND

In a little chocolate land
Where the beach is sugar sand
And lollypop trees are flavoured pear
And it all tastes soooo grand.
Houses are built with sweets
And the beds are soft with jelly
The pillows are pink marshmallows
And all is yummy in your belly.
The stones are made of chewy balls
And your couch is sour jelly sweets
The pond is full of chocolate milk
With candy canes for your Christmas treat.
The clouds are made of candy floss
Cola rains from the sky
The snow is made of cold ice cream
And the sun is a warm baked pie.
So come visit if you can
Whether its sunny raining or hail
I am sorry if you don't find this place
But we come to the end of our tale.
THE END!!!
