Autumn Colours
This week in Art Mr Smyth’s Class have been looking at the colours in nature during Autumn.
We looked at the different colours and shades of the leaves.
We mixed yellows and reds to make different shades of orange.
Hope you enjoy the pictures below of our class working on our colours

Tree Hunt in the Phoenix Park
Mr Smyth and 1st and 2nd class went for a nature walk in the Phoenix Park this week. We looked at the animals around us- Swans, Water Hens, Ducks and Squirrels and examined the trees in the park- Maple, Oak and Horse Chestnut trees. The children examined the colours of the leaves around them for their Art work this week and they discovered and collected leaves, branches and seeds from a number of trees.
Check out some pictures below.
