We were delighted to welcome heritage specialist Stephanie, who brought the magic of the Celtic calendar to life for our children. The learning didn’t stop there! The children got hands-on with some fantastic activities—beautifully decorating eggs and exploring their creativity through fabric printing. A big thank you to Stephanie for such an engaging and memorable visit.
Our Senior Room children were delighted to take part in a fantastic workshop with ceramic artist Bernadette Tuite as part of the Teacher Artist Partnership.
Drawing on her experience and inspiration from the Irish coastline, Bernadette guided the students through the process of sculpting detailed sea creatures and sea monsters in clay. The workshop encouraged creativity, focus, and great enthusiasm from all involved.
It was wonderful to see the imagination and skill on display, with each student creating their own unique piece.
A sincere thank you to Bernadette for providing such an engaging experience for our Senior Room children.

Over the past few weeks, our classrooms were busy with newspaper, glue, and plenty of creativity as we continued our long-standing tradition of crafting papier mâché figures. This year’s star creation? Our fantastic snake’s head. From building the shape to painting on all the colourful details, everyone played their part.
Our Junior Room had great fun getting creative with clay as they made their own snowmen. The children rolled, shaped, and decorated their snowmen with tiny noses, buttons, hats, and scarves — each one full of personality.
This activity helped develop fine motor skills, creativity, and lots of smiles along the way. Well done to all our wonderful young artists.
Keeping tradition alive! The children at Togher N.S. have been busy making St. Bridget’s Crosses. The best part? Watching the older children patiently help the younger ones learn the tricky techniques involved.
The children in the Senior Room recently enjoyed a creative and colourful Dog Weaving Art Lesson. They learned the basics of weaving by carefully working coloured paper over and under to create textured patterns for their dog blanket designs.
This lesson was a wonderful opportunity to develop fine motor skills, concentration, and creativity, while also introducing pupils to a traditional art technique. Once the weaving was complete, it was time to create the dogs and add details such as eyes, ears, and noses, giving each dog its own unique personality.
The finished pieces look fantastic and have brightened up our art display. Well done to all the talented artists in Togher N.S.
