Clay spiders: Senior Infants

We made Clay Spiders in Art yesterday using clay, pipe cleaners and googly eyes and today we painted them black. Teacher forgot to talk photos of us making them, so here’s the final product!!

Pumpkin people, Senior Infants

We made Pumpkin people today in art. We had to colour in all the various parts. Then we cut them out…that took a long time and we even lost a few bits but were able to make them again! Then we had to glue all the bits of our pumpkin person together on a large piece of paper, it was tricky but we were good at it. What do you think??

Weather Jigsaws, Senior Infants

We have been talking about the weather alot so we decided to make our own weather jigsaws. We coloured in a picture of either a Rainbow, a Raindrop, the Wind or the Sun. We then cut them up into jigsaw pieces and glued them to card. We hope you like them, we had great fun making them!

Halloween witches and ghosts, Junior Infants

Have a look at some of our art work for Halloween.

Witch Masks: Junior Infants

We had great fun making masks for Halloween.
 We coloured the picture really carefully, cut it out and stuck it to card.

 

We stuck a lollipop stick to the chin of the witch so we can hide behind the mask and say boo.

Flutterella; Senior Infants

A funny witch called Flutterella came to visit us last year at Halloween so the children decided to ask her to visit again this year.We stuck a note up on a tree inviting her and a few hours later it was gone....so she must have whooshed by quickly on her broomstick and grabbed it!She has been staying in our classroom at night and making things come to life and playing with our toys.She leaves us spooky looking things and crafty things so we can make our room look spookier.So far we 've made spiders and bats and we 're going to make pumpkins and witchy hands too.Flutterella flew on top of our bus when we went to Baboro and she was so impressed by how good the children were that she left Halloween sweets for them the next day!

Clay Hedgehogs: Senior Infants

We spoke about hedgehogs recently - how they are nocturnal creatures and about what they like to eat.We guessed how many spines they had - Chloe came very very close saying 4800 !They have between 5000 and 7000 so that was a brilliant guess..We made our own hedgehogs out of clay and stuck in lots of spines,not quite 5000 but quite a lot!

Titch: Junior Infants

A friendly witch has come to stay in our classroom. Her name is Titch The Witch.  Her broom stopped working and so she is staying in our classroom at night making potions and leaving notes for us to find in the morning.  We all work together and write a note back to Titch every morning.  We think of the questions we'd like to ask Titch and teacher writes it all down on the note for Titch.  Titch sometimes leaves Halloween activities and art ideas for us to try out.  She left lots of decorations for us and we all helped to put them up in the class to make Titch feel at home. 

We made spooky spiders from clay.

Our Apple Trees, Junior Infants

The kids painted apple trees using green and brown and gold for the sun. They stuck on fabric apples . I hung some of them out on the corridoor and they are much admired .

Hallowe'en bats, Senior Infants

We made these cool bats this week. First we painted a large paper plate and a small paper plate black. When dry we stuck on the ears, feet and wings. We stuck on some googly eyes and we used assorted foam shapes for the nose and mouth. We also decorated our bats with chalk. Our bats have made their home hanging in our classroom. We were wondering if they come out at night?!!!
