Art Week by the Sunshine Class
Congratulations to Yasmin who won the art competition during Art Week! Thank you to Mrs. Condron, Ms. Hanlon and Ms. Fitzpatrick for organising the lovely art activities last week. Well done to all the talented artists in the Sunshine Class. I have thoroughly enjoyed your creations during the year. From construction to clay and printing to painting you have all been amazing. Have a look at the beautiful collages of work below. You are all fantastic!!
The incredible art work of 2nd Class!

“A picture paints a thousand words” – the proof is in the collages below.
Enjoy a peek into our 2nd Class art gallery 🙂
Our Art – Senior Infants
Well done to all the boys and girls in Senior Infants for taking part in our Art Week.
The creativity and the imagination of Senior Infants was amazing. Every day, I was looking forward to seeing the fantastic activities created by everyone!
Senior infants were creating robots from recycled materials in their homes, putting together a still life composition and making a sketch of it, taking pictures of an insect busy at work, making a collage using leaves, flowers, twigs and pebbles, writing and decorating their names in different styles and recreating some famous art works along with more art activities.
Along with Ms Whyte, Ms Fahey, Mrs Condron and Ms Hanlon, I have truly enjoyed looking at the photos, videos and listening to voice messages of all the activities you have been doing. The talent in Senior Infants is incredible!
Lastly, a big thank you to Ms. Fitzpatrick, Ms. Hanlon and Mrs Condron for all the activities they have done for our Art Week.
Here are some pictures from our Art Week!
This week is Poetry Week! Mrs O’Leary and Ms. O’ Loughlin have planned wonderful activities for our Poetry Week. Continue to take photos/videos of your work or any activities you are doing at home and upload it onto Seesaw to show me. If you choose not to upload your work, keep all your wonderful work together so you can show it to me when we return to school.
Best wishes to Debora who celebrates her birthday this week!
Have a lovely week,
Miss Reynolds
Goodbye Art Week, Hello Poetry Week!
Hello everyone,
What a fantastic Art Week we’ve just had! We learned how to draw a toucan, a volcano, a panda, a Dachshund dog and a puffin. We drew self-portraits. Can you recognise your friends and classmates? We sketched what we saw from our windows and designed Viking shields. We revised warm and cool colours and studied the work of Andy Goldsworthy. Some students got inspired by their readers and constructed houses. For the art competition, we asked you to recreate some famous artwork. The winning entry is displayed at the end!
Below is a collection of the amazing work you uploaded! It was a pleasure looking at and compiling all your beautiful art work. Every student has a unique artistic style!
Here is our winner of the art competition! What a stunning recreation of ‘The Old Guitarist’ by Pablo Picasso. Well done to you!
Poetry Week begins today! We adore poetry in 3rd and 4th class. Ms O’Loughlin and Ms O’Leary have organised some wonderful resources which will be uploaded onto Seesaw. Have fun everybody!
Slán,
Ms O’Dowd
Amazing Art Week!
Hello 5th and 6th class,
Congratulations once again to all of you for participating in St. Gabriel’s first ever ART WEEK! You all did a wonderful job. I can’t wait to hear the results of the Art Competition. It’s going to be very hard for Ms.Hanlon, Ms.Condron and Ms. Fitzpatrick to pick a winner.
This week it is Poetry Week. Usually we would all be in the hall listening to and enjoying the different poems we have written. Mrs. McGarrity, our annual guest of honour, would also be reading a poem to us all. However, this year, Ms O’Leary and Ms. O’Loughlin have been very busy organising different activities for you to do to make sure that you dont miss out! They have been saved to your Poetry Week Journal on See Saw. I have no doubt that you will really enjoy them.
Enjoy your last full week in school. I miss you all very very much !
Ms. Sweetman
