Wonderful Wigwams

Wednesday, 28th January, 2009 We have been talking about houses, and also the letter Ww. Today we talked all about wigwams and their shape, then we drew some wigwams in crayon on black paper, and we used felt, rafia and wool to make wonderful weird wigwams!

Papier Mache Houses

We are talking a lot about houses this month in class. We made papier mache houses out of flour, newspaper and milk cartons. When the cartons were dry we painted them to look like cottages. We have made a lovely village of cottages.We made lovely clay castles,

and printed homes.

Artist at Work

We are doing lots of art for Christmas. Look at us working. Do you like our fabric and fibre angels and our potato print cards? You might even get one this Christmas.

Look at the lovely Christmas lanterns we made.

Art in Room 5

Friday, December 5th, 2008 We have been talking about the first Christmas tree, so on Wednesday we made lovely Christmas trees of our own. We painted them, cut them out, stuck them onto black paper and decorated them. Don't they look nice?
Today we made clay snowmen. Each one looks different. We wonder will they come to life like Frosty the Snowman?

Art in November

Science Week was in November. We carried out lots of scientific investigations and talked a lot about heat, air, waterproof and absorbent materials and space. Our art work reflects some of the interesting topics we covered in our talks about science. Here are some of the examples of our work: Spiral Snakes, Waterproof Umbrellas and Space Pictures. Next Sunday is the First Sunday of Advent. We made Advent Wreaths with 3 purple candles and one pink one. We will look out for wreaths if we go to church this Sunday.

Halloween Art

Monday, 20th October, 2008
In Room 5 we have been very busy getting ready for Halloween. We have been reading spooky stories from Ballybane library, have been dancing like skeletons, have been doing Halloween music and drama and of course we have been doing lots of Halloween art. Do you like our witches and skeletons, and our pumpkins and Halloween prints?

More September Art

We are talking a lot about Autumn. Here are some of the autumn leaves, fruits, nuts and berries that we have on our Nature Table. We made some leaf rubbing pictures, and some tree collages.

We were talking a lot about scarecrows too so we used felt to make a scarecrow each, then we painted the field around him. Our scarecrows are really colourful.
