Colourstrings

Mar 4, 2024

Colourstrings Music Classes are back for all classes in Scoil Mhuire. We are very fortunate to have Katri Suominen and Peggy Trundle from Maoin Cheoil na Gaillimhe teaching this internationally renowned Music Programme in our school,  Colourstrings uses the principles of Kodaly to train children to learn premusic literacy and appreciate different types of music before they formally play an instrument and become a ‘musician’. This involves them reading, using inner hearing and singing, as well as playing simple percussion instruments.

Also Katri is teaching some very lucky children from R3 agus 4 on Wednesday afternoons for Colourstrings Classical Flute lessons. They are going to perform as part of a Galway Youth Orchestra in May. They are really enjoying these lessons. Since starting in October, they have made great progress.

Cycling Lessons for our 5th Class pupils with Cycleright

Feb 22, 2024

What is Cycle Right?

CYCLE RIGHT is the National Standard for Cycle Training and provides practical cycle safety and skills training to promote competent and confident cyclists.

CYCLE RIGHT is produced and supported by the Department of Transport, the Road Safety Authority and Cycling Ireland, with input from central and local agencies and other groups.

We have organised for Cycleright to come to our 5th class pupils this term!

2 instructors will come to the school and deliver four 1 hr 45 min lessons, covering areas such as Theory and Rules of the Road training, Core Bicycle-Handling and Road-Skills training.

All of the training will take place in the school yards in a simulated road environment, so it will be completely safe.

We are very happy to be able to make this training available to our pupils!
