Importance of Arts & Crafts in Curriculum

“Painting is concerned with all the 10 attributes of sight; which are: Darkness, Light, Solidity and Colour, Form and Position, Distance and Propinquity, Motion and Rest.”

– Leonardo da Vinci

Creative Schools

We have been so lucky to link in with local artist Susan Farrelly to take part in wonderful creative projects, including our beautiful wall mural which was designed and painted by our pupils, under the guidance of Susan.

Music in Scoil San Nioclás

“Music is a way for young people to develop their IMAGINATION and SELF-ESTEEM while building skills that will help them in their school lives and beyond.”

In Scoil San Nioclás, we encourage a love of music. We currently use the Dabbledoo music programme. The Dabbledoo programme encourages CREATIVITY, COLLABORATION and CRITICAL THINKING in the classroom, while focusing on fun, interactive lessons and incorporating the strands of Listening and Responding, Performing and Composing.

Our music programme is integrated with the Drama curriculum. The children perform Nativity plays for the parents and pupils of the school in December. The children retell the story of the First Christmas in verse and song.
