Everyone at Scoil Talbot wishes you and your family a very happy, peaceful, and joyful Christmas.
We look forward to seeing everyone again on Monday the 5th.
Mr Coleman’s 5th Class Koru Maoiri Art
Our class have been learning about the Maori people who are native of New Zealand. The class produced excellent art pieces based on a Maori art form called Koru art.
Mr.Gilmartins Visit Ms.Walshs Class
Our class recently paid a visit to Ms.Walshs 3rd class to talk about some History (American Revolution) and Science (Circuits) that we have been doing in our class. We really enjoyed working with the 3rd class kids. Check out some pictures of our visit here. Our School Chickens
Check out how our chicks from last year are doing. Aren’t they getting big? It turned out that four of them are roosters and two are hens. Orla is checking in on them regularly and is keeping us updated. They are loving life in Sligo. Cock – a – Doodle – D0!!
Ms Ní Fhlathartas 6th Class visit Xilinx
French Revolution Projects
We have been learning all about the French Revolution recently.
Look at some of our projects we made. We presented our work to Ms Ní Fhlartha’s class recently.
Each group made their own projects.
The American Revolution encouraged the working classes to rebel against the Aristocracy!
Check out King Louis XVI and Queen Marie Antoinette’s plush pad below – The Palace of Versailles!
The motto of the French revolution was -Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité!
How old are the teachers’ cars?
Do they all have new ones?
We—Mr Molloy’s 5th class—collected data
on the 6th October 2014 to find out!
This is what we found out…
- The cars were from 2000 to 2014.
- There were 55 staff cars in all (including workers building the new classroom, and including staff of Nano Nagle school right beside us).
- 11 of them (11/55 or 20%) were 5 years old or newer… which means that 80% were over 5 years old! We think this might be because people can’t afford to buy new cars.
- There’s more older than newer cars. In fact there were 18 cars over 10 years old—that’s 18 out of 55, or 18/55, which is 33%–that’s like 1 in 3.
- There were 5 cars from 2005, 5 from 2006, 9 from 2007, 4 from 2008, 6 from 2009, 6 from 2010, 1 from 2011, 1 from 2012, 2 from 2013, and 1 from 2014.
- 2007 was the year with the most cars bought.
- Half the cars were bought in 2007 or before, half in 2007 or after.
- Only 1 car was bought this year (so far).
- We expected to see more than one jeep in the carpark but there was only one.
Have a look at the photo to see the detail.
Next year we think it would be good to collect just the data for Scoil Talbot’s staff. We’ll be in 6th class so we might do it—we’d like to. #Excited!

Three years ago, another class did the same thing. Click HERE to see what they found out. What was similar (like) and what was different?
Knitting in 3rd class.
We have started knitting in 3rd class. We are off to a flying start. WE are loving every minute of it! A HUGE thanks to Nana Rooney (Orla’s mammy) for making us our knitting bags.
Planting flowers for Spring
In Ms Walsh’s 3rd class we planted tulip bulbs. We have planted tulips and daffodils in some other classes.
