5th Class were busy making their St Brigid’s day crosses the traditional way out of rushes. It was not an easy task and they worked very well as a team to create these beautiful crosses.
5th class then watched mass and said a prayer to St Brigid. They brought their crosses home with them to have in their houses.
Congratulations to all of the boys and girls in 6th Class who were confirmed today in St. Joseph’s Church, Marshalstown. It was a wonderful ceremony for the children and their families and we hope everyone has a wonderful time celebrating this special occasion.
Yesterday was a very exciting day in Marshalstown NS as it was Pancake Tuesday. The children were all delighted to see the pancakes being cooked and they enjoyed eating the pancakes even more! 🙂
Today was a very special day in Marshalstown NS as we celebrated having our grandparents in our lives. Fr. MacDonald said a mass for all the school children and their families. After mass, the children returned to school where they welcomed their grandparents and parents into their classrooms to see the wonderful art they had created for this wonderful occasion. All the grandparents enjoyed a cup of tea and a treat in the school too!
Thanks to everyone who visited the school today and made it such a special occasion for the children. Click on the photographs for a closer look at the children’s work. 🙂
