Christmas Jumper Day
Rudolf, Santa Claus and the Grinch were some of the characters that featured in the halls of Meán Scoil Mhuire on our annual Christmas Jumper Day. We were delighted this year to raise funds for MS Ireland by wearing our festive attire and buying sweets and treats in aid of this worthy cause. We would like to thank all those who participated on the day and a special thank you to Ms King and her team of helpers for organising the event.
National Concert Hall: Music in the Classroom
On Tuesday December 3rd, Ms O’Reilly’s Sixth Year Music class accompanied by Ms O’Reilly and Ms Ross, travelled to the National Concert Hall to attend “Music in the Classroom” a live workshop focusing on Tchaikovsky’s orchestral work “Romeo and Juliet”. This was performed live by the National Concert Orchestra, and special attention was paid to the three themes featured in the orchestral overture. It was an incredibly informative session and a very enjoyable day out for all who attended. Thank you to all our students and to their teachers.
