My Body


Body pictures using art straws, PVA glue and card.

Chalk Drawings



Mixing Paints



Red and blue makes purple, red and yellow makes orange, yellow and blue makes green.

Healthy Eating





First class have been learning all about fruit and vegetables. Fruit and vegetables help to keep our bodies healthy. We drew pictures of fruit using chalks. We made fruit plates using crepe paper, card and newspaper. We all brought in a fruit and vegetable. Teacher cut them up and we used them to make fruit and vegetable men. It was fun! Teacher made a 'Healthy Eating' display in our classroom.

Aliens and Planets



For the past few weeks, Ms Guckian's class have been learning all about aliens and planets. We read a story in our reader about aliens and decided to make aliens using glue, paper and card. They make our room look colourful. We wondered where the aliens in our reader came from and decided to find out about the planets and the solar system. We made planet mobiles using card, wool and wire hangers. Cian brought in his telescope and we all took turns looking through it.

Winter Art




First class painted some winter pictures using black and white paint. We also made snowmen from clay.

February Art in Room 5

Today, on St. Brigid's day, we made crosses. They should be made from rushes but we had none, so we used coloured paper instead. They look great anyway.

On the 14th of February it will be St. Valentine's Day. We are making nice things out of hearts for Valentine's Day.


We made hearts out of beads. Then teacher ironed them so that the beads all stick together.

We used 6 hearts to make nice 'Somebunny Loves You' cards.



We made some lovely stain glass patterns with tissue paper and black sugar paper. When we stick them on the window the light shines nicely through them.Mother's Day is on March 2nd this year. We made lots of great Mother's Day cards to show our Mums how much we love them..
