For the first time ever St Fergal’s School took part in an amazing cross border event called Peace Proms. The three 5th classes have been learning lots of songs and actions since September, to take part in a choir with hundreds of other schools. They went along to the RDS on Saturday 4th February and joined over a 1000 children from other schools to form the Peace Proms Choir. They were accompanied by a real symphony orchestra, professional singers, dancers and musicians. It was a goose bump moment for the children and teachers and we are just so proud of how well they represented the school. It was a once in a lifetime experience for the children and we intend to make it an annual event here at St Fergal’s.
Art For All Day 2022
We had great fun last week doing our annual Art For All Day. Every class in the whole school participated and by the end of the day the teachers were worn out and the children were covered in paint, clay, glue, wool and any other amount of art materials but each child had at least three pieces of Christmas themed artwork to show for it. It is always a highlight in the St Fergal’s School Calendar each year and it gets us all in the Christmas mood! Here are some pictures from the day.

Our Big Debut on RTE News2Day
Last week RTE cameras came in to film everyone in the school taking part in our annual Art For All Day. Micheál the reporter was accompanied by Micheál the camera man. They were so professional and friendly and they really made all of the children feel comfortable and safe in front of the camera. As soon as they left St Fergal’s, they headed back to RTE to edit their work and we were delighted to find out that the show would be airing that very evening at 4:20pm on RTE 2. A big thanks to the RTE News2Day for taking the time to visit our school.
We are so proud of all the children that took part, but specially those that were interviewed and represented our school so well.
