Continuing our tradition of making St. Brigid's Day crosses with family & friends in Castlerock
Many thanks to our parents & friends who joined us and a special thanks to Fr. John who called to the school to bless our St. Brigid's crosses. Our Junior Class made crosses from paper as well as the traditional crosses made from rushes! Lá Fhéile Bríde Artwork

December is always a special time here in Castlerock N.S. when we have lots of fun combined with our Christmas traditions
We all enjoyed our Cosy Day in school on the 16th December and especially the hot chocolate and treats! Our Junior Room put on a great performance of The Nativity at our Carol Service on 19th December. We love our pets here in Castlerock and they were all in a festive mood coming up to Christmas also! December Creative Homework was Christmas themed and pupils were asked to use recycled materials where possible. Congratulations to our prize winners and well done to everyone
