Junior infants had an amazing first session of Creativity in the classroom with artist Liz. 

The children explored the charactistics of clay and developed their understanding of textures by using various objects to make marks and patterns in their piece of clay. 

3D shapes were also explore as the children learnt different skills to use in order to mould their clay into various shapes. 

What a wonderful start to their Creativity in the classroom sessions and looking forward to the next few weeks.

Pupils from the I.C.B committee worked with Helen and Radio Maker Frank Phelan to plan and record two new radio shows for their new programme "Inchicore Eco-Squad" which is about all about the environment in Inchicore.

Pupils from Our Lady of Lourdes met Niamh from Bat Conservation Ireland to learn about Bats in the area, and they met with ecologist Dean to find out about wildlife and what an ecologist does.

We made a wreath out of our handprints, we decorated stockings and frames for our photos, and we made paper snowflakes. We even left a treat out for Santa and Rudolph!
