Bhí sé go hiontach! 💚☘
Visit to an Artist
March 10, 2020
Today the boys visited the local library where a local artist, Margaret Farrell was showcasing her art. The boys were amazed by her work and inspired to transcribe a bit of her passion in the classroom.
We loved choosing our favourite pieces from her work, and Margaret showed us how an artist imagines and creates the art imagined in their heads.
Engineering Week 2020
March 10, 2020
We enjoyed celebrating Engineering Week last week.
Our favourite activity was constructing a bridge out of paper, paper clips and tape; that would hold up an orange. We loved working in a team and using a budget of paper and tape, as well as predicting whether our bridge would hold or not.
How to Catch a Leprechaun
March 10, 2020
Have you ever wondered how to catch a leprechaun? The boys in first class will tell you how!
The boys studied procedural writing to create this text.
World Book Day
March 9, 2020
We ‘shared a story’ to celebrate World Book Day in room 4. We enjoyed sharing our favourite stories with our classmates.
Spring Art
March 5, 2020
Spring Art
The boys made lambs from paper plates and cotton wool.
They also got to learn about the French artist George Seurat. He used a type of painting known as pointillism in his work. The boys copied this by using cotton buds and doing ‘dotty’ painting on their butterflies.
The boys made some beautiful cherry tree blossoms from crêpe paper.
Spring lambs
March 2, 2020
We used bubble wrap to make Spring lambs! The boys all did a great job adding spring flowers and other details to their pictures.
