DRUMMING MANIA

Eddie O'Neill visited the school on Wednesday 26th and Friday 28th October to do drumming with all the classes.
In the video you can watch below you'll notice that many princessess, fairies, witches, vampires, ghosts and pop stars attend the Faythe....this is because on that Friday we also had our annual Halloween Fund Raising Walk and this year we focussed on Music as the curricular theme for the walk and because most of the photos were taken on Friday for this clip, all of the percussionists were in 'fancy dress' apart from Eddie himself.


It will take a little longer to open than usual, but it is worth the wait.


Halloween Walk 2011

The Faythe School was invaded on Friday 27th October by vampires, aliens, robots, princes, princesses, witches, ghosts, ghouls, pirates, oompa-loompas, super heroes, soldiers, pop-stars, Jedward, characters from "Grease" and even Henry Shefflin made an appearance as the annual Halloween Walk took place. This year's curricular theme was Music and the walk co-incided with the visit to the school of a drummer so all the children were in great form for the 'Walk.'

We were blessed with the weather, as although it was cold the rain stayed away for the event, which took place after lunch. There was a terrific attendance along the route and all the cheers and good-will shown to the children is very much appreciated.

A huge thanks is due to all the adults who helped prepare the pupils costumes and allowed them seek spomsorship for this event and to all who contributed in any way to make the 'Walk' the success it was. All monies raised will be used for the betterment of the educational facilities availalble to the children. More details of final amounts will be forwarded in the November Newsletter.

Two photovid albums have been uploaded for your enjoyment and can be accessed by clicking the links below. They will take a few moments to upload but are worth the wait.
