3rd Class had a fantastic trip into the city this week to visit St Stephen’s Green as part of the celebrations for Bike Week.
The highlight of the visit was seeing Anaya’s wonderful winning drawing proudly displayed on the railings around the park alongside other artwork celebrating cycling, road safety, and active travel. The children were so excited to spot Anaya’s picture and were delighted to see her creativity recognised in such a public and special way.
The class enjoyed walking through the park, taking in all the colourful displays, and discussing the importance of cycling and looking after the environment. It was a lovely opportunity to celebrate Anaya’s achievement together and enjoy a great day outdoors- even if there were some rain showers!
Well done again to Anaya on her fantastic success- we are all very proud! 🚲🎨
Last week in Art, we explored the colour wheel and learned about warm and cool tones. The children created beautiful sun and moon artworks to demonstrate the difference between warm colours, which create feelings of energy and warmth, and cool colours, which give a calm and peaceful effect. The finished pieces were full of creativity and colour.
As part of our whole-class project on the UN Global Goals, we focused on the goal of “No Poverty.” The children worked together to learn about the importance of helping others, fairness, and supporting communities around the world. We were proud to present our project during assembly and share our ideas and learning with the school community.
We were delighted to welcome first year students Eabha & Ariana from National College of Art and Design into 3rd Class for a wonderful art collaboration inspired by the work of Pablo Picasso.
The students worked together to explore Picasso’s unique style while creating imaginative self-portraits, colourful paintings, and creative collograph prints. The classroom was filled with creativity, teamwork, and fun as everyone experimented with shape, colour, and expression through art.
It was a fantastic experience for our class to learn new techniques and gain inspiration from the visiting NCAD students. We are very grateful for their enthusiasm, encouragement, and artistic talent throughout the project.
Every Friday, our 4th Class enjoy special DEAR (Drop Everything And Read) time in the school library. The children love getting cosy with a good book, finding a comfy spot, and losing themselves in a story. There’s always great excitement as everyone settles in to enjoy some quiet reading time together! 📚✨
