Readaton & Character Day 📚

February was a very exciting month due to the Readton. The students have been doing excellent reading and enjoyed activities such as buddy readying with younger classes. To mark the end of the Readaton, the students dressed up as their favourite book character. This was a great opportunity for students to discover new authors and genres they enjoy. 😊

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.

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.

Egypt Dioramas 🇪🇬

Egypt is a very interesting country to focus on and can be integrated throughout the curriculum, from English to SESE, Art and Drama. The students created fabulous dioramas (shoebox art) focused on Egypt!
