Have a look at our Living Gallery

All of the classes in St. Ultan’s get a chance to display their beautiful and creative artwork in our ‘Living Gallery’. The other children come to visit and admire the art in the Living Gallery. They can also leave compliments after their walk of the gallery.

Right now ‘Múinteoir Molly’s 1st Class’ are having their turn. Have a look at some of their lovely art, and the fabulous compliments some of the children have made.

Santa Stops at St. Ultans

We were so lucky to have a special visitor stop off today to deliver presents to the boys and girls for all their hard work on their Christmas Windows. All the boys and girls in Junior, Senior and Early Years Classes got a special delivery today.

Santa’s visit was so quick we didnt get many pictures, but here are a few from M. Lisa, M. Mairead, M. Mark & M. Angela’s classes

Title: Reindeers and Candy Canes

Description: 2nd Class made a game based on Snakes and Ladders but instead we decided to use Reindeers and Candy Canes. There are four silly elves trying to get to one hundred, their names are Jingles, Alfie, Snowy and Danger.

The rules are:

1.       Youngest player goes first.

2.       If you land on a Candy Cane you slide down.

3.       If you land on a Reindeer’s footprints you move up.

4.       First person to one hundred wins.

Múinteoir Sarah, Múinteoir Ashley and Olga’s 5th class

Our Christmas window is titled ‘Sugar and Spice and All Things Nice.’ It was inspired by a gingerbread house that some people like to make at Christmas time. We used a mixture of different materials. Firstly, we painted the night sky for the background using blue and white paint. We also included a silhouette of Santa and his reindeer flying across the moon. Then, we used brown paper for the base of the house before painting on the white “icing” that looks bricks. Then we worked individually on smaller projects to add to the house like the snow, the peppermints, the candy canes, the Christmas tree, the snowmen and the reindeers. Everyone added at least one thing to the house and we had lots of fun creating it! The final touches were then added which included the windows and the lights on the tree.
