Every December a local art teacher called Pat Bennett from St.Gerard's ERC works with children to create a Nativity scene for the Hilton Hotel in Belfast. Each year the huge figures are inspired by the work of a particular artist. This year the Nativity figures centred on the work of the German / Swiss artist Paul Klee.
Mrs Bennett won the N.Ireland teaching award for 'Lifetime achievement' and invited Miss Kettle to join her in a joint art project, following the awards ceremony in October.
The boys and girls in P2 had great fun decorating sheep using a range of materials.
The finished masterpiece is truly magnificent and will be in the foyer of the Hilton Hotel from 21st December 2012 to 6th January 2013.
Parents, Grandparents, family and friends all enjoyed the two wonderful Nursery Nativities on Wednesday 19th December. Please see the Nursery Class Pages to view photos from these events (under Nursery Nativity)
Mrs Browne recently visited Shanghai, China, for a week. She was accompanied by principals and teachers from local Belfast schools and schools from further a field. She had the opportunity of visiting schools which included Jiading qu Boata in Zhong Xue near Shanghai (photos below). This visit was sponsored by the Chinese Language Council International (Hanban) and the Confucious Institute with the aim of promoting the Chinese language and culture world wide. St Ita’s is very grateful to Aquinas Grammar and the University of Ulster for the invitation to join this most worthwhile project. St Ita’s now looks forward to our primary school curriculum being enriched with new experiences which include Mandarin, Taiji, Calligraphy and Chinese Dance.
P5 pupils lead the Whole School Nativity and Carol Service. St. Ita's Brass Band and the String & Woodwind Ensemble played Christmas Carols. P5 performed 'Hosanna Rock' supported by St. Ita's School Choir. This beautiful Carol Service was enjoyed by all of our school community in a packed Church. Please view some of the images below.
