Arklow Music and Drama Festival

Children from junior and senior infants, 1st and 2nd classes and 6th class took art in the annual music and drama festival in Arklow. All classes excelled in their relevant age groups in the category of ‘action poem’. Junior infants performed ‘I wish I was a Sailor’ by Mary Whelan and were highly commended on their performance. All children really looked the part in their lovely sailor costumes. 1st and 2nd classes performed a Gabriel Fitzmaurice poem about walking in the country. Facial expression and clarity were two aspects of the performance that the adjudicator commented on, awarding them very highly commended. Finally, 6th class took to the stage at 4 p.m. and were awarded 1st place for their rendition of Roald Dahl’s Cinderella. The children gave a very synchronized and clear performance with plenty of humour along the way. The Coral Leisure Cup is now on display in our school. We really have a talented bunch in Scoil Ghormáin Naofa. Well done to all students and teachers involved.
