Congratulations to Leon Grimes, Aodhán Gavin, Chloe Heraty and Odhrán Gavin who all won prizes in The Credit Union Art Competition. The winners had a very enjoyable afternoon in Hotel Westport recently. We are very proud of you here in Carrakennedy. Well done to all pupils for taking part in the competition.
Artist and Author Nicky Dowd visited our school on Tuesday. We really enjoyed listening to her book “Stumpa”. It is a happy Christmas story and put us all in the festive mood. Nicky also did a Christmas card making workshop with us and taught us how to draw a Robin. We will remember this forever.
We have really enjoyed celebrating Advent this year. we begun on week 1 by making our own advent wreath. Each week we have gathered around our wreath and reflected on the week. This year we remembered the refugees in The Marka School in Jordan who had fled their native country of Iraq. We hope that they too will have a happy and peaceful Christmas.
Today we lit our 4th Candle. Our wreath will be going to Cushlough Church for Christmas.
Congratulations to the boys and girls who competed a full attendance for term 1.
