2nd Class had lots of fun exploring a range of brushes and painting materials. We examined naturally occurring patterns and textures and tried to recreate these in our own way on large sheets. We hope you enjoy!

2nd Class trip to 14 Henrietta Street
2nd Class had an amazing time learning all about the historical building at 14 Henrietta Street. This is a fantastic museum showing the lives of the many different people that lived there in the past. Special thanks to our wonderful guide Gillian and all the staff at the Museum.
2nd Class STEM and Art
Mr Donnelly’s class have been busy studying 3D shapes and static electricity in STEM. We made models from nets and carried out science experiments with balloons.
We also studied Impressionism and the work of Claude Monet, before making our own Water Lily watercolour paintings. We hope you enjoy!
Movie Magic and the Joy of Reading
Today, Mr Smyth’s 3rd Class turned their classroom into a mini-cinema with popcorn and watched the movie adaptation of “James and the Giant Peach”, which we compared and contrasted with the book.
Over the last few months, the children have read the book together. They worked hard writing chapter summaries, character profiles, story profiles, book reviews, advertisements for a peach visit and much more. They also created clay creations of characters from the book.
St Brigid’s Cross making lesson in 3rd Class
On Monday, we had a Bank Holiday in recognition of St Brigid’s Day. This week and last, the children read the story of “St. Brigid’s Cloak”.
Today, the children in 3rd Class made St Brigid’s crosses with the help of Ms Leonard (Thank you Ms Leonard!) who popped in to demonstrate the art lesson.
The children had great fun learning the weaving skill involved in making them. Check out the pictures below.
