History, Butterflies agus Dathanna

Posted on by

This week 2nd Class have been busy with lots of projects. In Science we learned about the life cycle of the butterfly. We saw their wings are symmetrical and after exploring this idea in maths, we used this in our art work.

We continued using maths and colours in Irish and discovered through carrying out surveys with each other that gorm is the most popular colour in the class! Maith sibh!

In history we have been learning about what our school was like in the past (it is over 100 years old!). Andrew came in to explain an old roll book and some old school photos. We found out some interesting facts about school and life in the past!

Quentin Blake Creations in 3rd Class

As Mr Smyth’s 3rd Class are reading the novel “James and the Giant Peach” written by Roald Dahl and illustrated by Quentin Blake, the children have spent September learning about the artistic drawing style of Quentin Blake.

Today, they completed their own imaginative character based on the style of Blake and painted in the style Blake would use. You can learn more about Quentin Blake here: https://quentinblake.com/

Check out the children’s beautiful artwork below!
