Working with Clay

The Senior Infants really enjoyed art this week as they got to make their own clay pots. Some students decided to add extra detail and decoration while others decided to add handles. We will leave these to dry and paint them in the coming weeks. Super work by the Senior Infants as all the pots turned out fantastic.

Hands on Maths 📐

Using hands on resources are a really important part of maths. They help us link maths problems to real life while also broadening our minds to find new ways to solve problems. By using manipulatives such as blocks, matchsticks, cubes, lollipop sticks or drawing on whiteboards, it helps us visualise problems that sometimes are hard to understand!

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.

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.
