Creative Schools Week 2025

The pupils in Walterstown National School had a fantastic time celebrating Creative Schools this week. We mostly focused on textile art – where fine art and craft collide! Weaving, knotting, beading and braiding (including hair!) were just some of the techniques we learned about. We built an outdoor tepee, made a tapestry from chicken wire, created crazy hairstyles and beautiful dream catchers for our new Sensory Garden.

The children in 4th, 5th and 6th class were treated to this dark yet funny tale which involved a cookery demonstration!

We would like to give a massive thank you to Alice whose performance we thoroughly enjoyed! If you would like to see another of Alice’s shows please check out the poster above with details of her upcoming performance of Liv which is suitable for 13 year olds +.
