Centenary Quilt

Teresa Muldoon presented the Centenary Quilt to the children recently. In her own calm and wise way, she advised and guided the teachers at every stage of planning and developing the quilt. She painstakingly arranged and stitched the squares together, transforming it from individual pieces to the complete quilt which we now have. From the bottom of our hearts we thank Teresa for her knowledge and labour which has enabled us to capture Roan so perfectly. When we first discussed the concept of a quilt in September, we did not envisage anything to the scale and quality of what we now have. We are truly grateful to everyone who has helped in any way in assisting with our project and be assured that this quilt will hang in pride of place in Roan for many    future generations to enjoy.

Learning about toys




The Children in Mrs Magill's class are learning all about toys. They have been making junk art robots, painting and writing about their favourite toys and making toys from dough.

Learning about the past



The children from P7 were sampling life 100 years ago in school when they dressed up in their victorian clothes and visited the old school house in Armagh's Palace Stables. The event was filmed with the help of the Amma Centre and will be part of a film which will be shown to parents at a later date.
