Today, the whole school enjoyed a wonderful pancake treat! Everyone was served freshly made pancakes with a variety of tasty toppings to choose from, including sugar, lemon, blueberries, and strawberries.
A big thank you to Lisa from the S.C.P. for all her help in making this happen. The pancakes were absolutely delicious and thoroughly enjoyed by all!

Easter doesn’t fall on the same date every year because Easter is always on the first Sunday after the first full moon that follows the spring equinox. We were delighted to welcome Stephanie from Heritage in Schools to explain the moon cycle and to help create these beautiful Easter Wreaths.

Stephanie from Heritage in Schools helped the children to create lovely Easter Eggs using marbling. Marbling is an art technique that involves paint, a dispersing agent and water to create unique patterns that resemble variegated marble.

We had a wonderful morning creating beautiful Easter Cards during a webinar with The Wexford Education Centre and artist Nadia Corridan.
The children in the Senior Room have been experimenting with our new water-colour pencils while creating some wonderful Easter Bunny art. Water-colour pencils are a medium that combines drawing with painting. When you add water to a watercolor pencil drawing the pigment spreads over the paper to imitate the look and feel of a watercolor painting. Working with these kinds of pencils is a great way to experiment with colors. The children gave the water- colour pencils a big thumbs-up and are looking forward to exploring their use in more detail in future art projects.
There are signs of spring all around us in nature. The children in the Junior room have been busy creating the Easter symbols of new life – Easter eggs and Easter chicks. We are all looking forward to a visit from the Easter bunny.
