Bee Keeper Visit 🐝

 As always, the students love learning about nature and taking care of the environment. As World Bee Day was just last week, it was lovely to have a visit from a local bee keeper, P.J. We had a look at the bee hive where the bees live and where the honey is gathered, the bee suit, gloves and smoker. The students had lots of questions about the life of the bee and the journey the honey takes to get from the flower to the market.

Art- Salmon of Knowledge 🐟

 When learning about the famous landmarks of Ireland, we came across many myths and legends attached to them. The students particularly enjoyed the myth of the Giants Causeway and the Salmon of Knowledge. In art, the students created their own Salmon of Knowledge! 🐟 First, the students painted on bubble wrap and printed it onto the card. This created a water effect. The students then designed the fish and used other materials to add more detail to their work.

Ardrahan Mausoleum Trip 📸

Friday was such a fantastic day that the students took a little trip down to the Mausoleum in Ardrahan. Firstly, this involved a little walk in the nice weather 🚶‍♀️☀️ When at the mausoleum the students looked at the different architecture and learned about its history.  It is great for the children to learn about their local history as well as history on a wider scale.

Art- Pointillism

 For the past for weeks we have been learning about the Supermarket in Aistear. We decided to link this with art and created wonderful pieces of fruit only using cotton buds and paint.  All the students did a fantastic job! This was new way to try out painting and art for the students.
