We have been celebrating Creative February as part of our involvement in the Creative Schools programme.
We had a visit from Zoe Basha on 19th February – we enjoyed lots of different music and drama improvisation games and activities.
On 29th February, we got together in our teams to be creative! We had collected lots of different boxes and junk art materials and sat down together to see what we could make. There were some fantastic ideas and at the end of the hour – each group had made something completely different – we had robots, gardens, houses, villages, an arcade and the instruments for a rock band! There was lots of co-operation and team work on display, as well as great imagination – well done everyone!
Over the last few weeks, we have also been collecting folklore from our families and friends. We have gathered some amazing stories, photos, artefacts and recordings about what life was like in the past, both in Killeshandra and further afield. We had a chance this week to share these with the rest of the school. Our Creative Associate, Ultan, is going to work with us over the next few months on a project where we can record these stories and share them with everyone in the community. Thank you to everyone who has shared their stories so far – there will be lots more exciting opportunities to get involved with this project as we move forward!
