Clay mini beasts

Artists at work

The finished bugs

We were very creative in our art class today and we used clay, feathers, google eyes, matchsticks, pipe cleaners and glitter to make fabulous, fantastic bugs.

Mini beast paintings

Inspired by our mini beast hunt, we painted the mini beasts we found in the school grounds today.

Remember to click on pictures to see them enlarged.

We really learned a lot about mini beasts, bugs and insects today.....

...and we had a lot of fun exploring the nature around us!

Galway jerseys

We are so proud of our Galway senior and minor hurling teams who will play in the ALL IRELAND HURLING FINALS next Sunday in Croke Park, and of our Galway camogie team who will play in the CAMOGIE FINAL the following Sunday in Croke Park.

 Today we made origami (Japanese paper folded) GAA jerseys and painted them in the Galway colours....maroon and white!

(We made the colour maroon by mixing red and blue paints together).

COME ON GALWAY!

Beautiful butterflies

Look at the beautiful butterflies we made.

We used cardboard stencils to make the butterfly shapes.

We used marbled papers and fold over papers that we made earlier in the year.

Father's Day art

We made lovely cards and monster bookmarks for Father's Day on Sunday.

We hope our dads will like them.

Making bees

We made lovely bees in art yesterday and today.

We painted toilet rolls, added wings and antennae and made a headband each to hold our bees.

We will bring our bees with us when we visit the public library because this year the theme for the summer reading programme is:

Reading Buzz!

We will take our bees up to learn all about the summer reading programme.
