Hedgehogs, Senior Infants

We made these cool hedgehogs last week. First we coloured in the leaves using 'autumn' colours. Then we coloured in our hedgehog. Next we stuck on match sticks to make the spines. And finally we painted the 'spines' brown.

The Wise Old Owl

We learned the poem The Wise Old Owl and decided to draw and paint some owls. These are our wonderful drawings and paitings. This is the poem that we learned:

A wise old owl lived in an oak

The more he saw the less he spoke

The less he spoke the more he heard.

Why can't we all be like that wise old bird?

Trip to our art gallery, senior infants

Monday, September 27th, 2010

We painted bins today. They look so nice. This is to tie in with our talks about recycling. Tomorrow (hopefully) we'll cut them out, put rubbish in them and put them on backing paper. They will look so nice. Keep an eye out for an update on this!

The bins are painted, and filled with rubbish. Teacher hung lots of our art in the corridor just outside the classroom. When she was done, our class went on a trip - to the art gallery (the corridor) where we had fun looking at the artwork, and admiring our own. It felt like a trip to a real gallery, and we felt very famous with our artwork on show!

Autumn art, Junior Infants

We painted some Autumn Trees and we used Peter Pointer to print the leaves. We used the colours red, yellow, orange and brown for the leaves. Look at our trees. They are now hanging outside our classroom for everyone to see. Harry the Hedgehog is very busy during Autumn too. He likes to rustle in the leaves and eat worms....but watch out for his prickly spikes. The Hedgehog has spikes everywhere on his body except for his face, legs and stomach. We are going to learn a song about the Harry the Hedgehog this week.We were very clever and we used our hands to print his spikes.

Harry Hedgehog, Junior Infants

We have been busy learning all about Autumn. We learned about the animals who are getting ready for their long sleep. We painted pictures of Harry hedgehog. Our hands got very sticky adding the spikes to Harry's back.

Art in September, Junior Infants

Here is some of the art we have completed. We painted Humpty Dumpty in our first week at school. We sponge painted some sponge snails. We used sponges with different colours and we sponged around a template of the snail.

Music time, Junior Infants



We love singing songs in Room 1. We play instruments as we sing. This week we played the triangle, drums, tambourine, shakers, and bells. We sang our nursey rhymes as we played.
