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.
This week, Mr Smyth’s 3rd Class completed their clay creations of characters from their novel “James and the Giant Peach”. They made 3-D representations of Earthworm, Miss Spider, Sponge, Spider, the Peach, Centipede and many more. Today, they added a splash of colour to their clay work using bright acrylic paints. Check out some pictures below.
Mr Donnelly’s and Ms Leonard’s classes have been learning all about St. Brigid and making St. Brigid’s crosses, an important Irish Christian symbol. They are also a fun craft activity!
