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.

Art in September

Room 5, Senior Infants
We have been talking about ourselves and learning the parts of our bodies in Irish. Look at the nice face collages we made of ourselves.

We have also been talking about keeping our rubbish in the bins. Do you like the bins we painted and stuck? Some of them even have rubbish in them.

Art in June

Room 5 (Senior Infants) are talking a lot about the seaside so we did some really nice pictures of the seaside. We used paint with sand in it so the picture even feels sandy. We used gummed paper to make nice shapes for our pictures.
Our Dads are in for a great treat with these Father's Day cards that we made in school.After our school to Turoe Pet Farm, we did these nice farm prints with crayons and printed farm shapes.

Art in May

We have made some lovely ladybirds.They are made of papier mache. We got some yoghurt pots, covered them with newspaper dipped in flour and water. When they dried we painted them in red, with a black head and black spots. They look great.
Here are some lovely "lion in the jungle" fabric paintings that we did with our new teachers.
We also did some nice butterfly resist paintings. This means that we drew butterflies in crayon and painted on top. The crayon came through the paint to make nice pictures.
We made kites from paper, paint, skewers, string and fabric tails and bows.
It was fine but windy today, May 26th, so we went flying the kites. It was great fun.
Our kites fly best if we fly them against the wind.
Friday, 30th May, 20008
We made some lovely finger painted butterflies. We also folded them over after finger painting half, so both sides of our butterflies look the same, just like real butterflies.

Stained Glass Window

Spring Lambs

We weaved white wool around a small paper plate to make these lovely spring lambs.

African Art

April Art in Room 5

We are talking a lot about bugs and mini beasts. We have made a wormery. Rory told us that in France people eat snails. I wonder would we think they are delicious? For art today we made racing snails. We made them out of paper and material. They are having a race across the wall of our classroom now. They look great.

Inspired by our 5 healthy caterpillars, we have made wonderful caterpillar paintings. We can't wait to watch the caterpillars turn into butterflies.

We have made lovely bug pictures by painting a pond, a tree and some healthy looking grass. Then we coloured lots of different types of bugs, cut them out and gave them new homes in our paintings.
