World war ii
This month we have been learning all about World War 2. We read the poem 'Bournemouth 1939' by Anthony Twaite. We then rewrote this poem onto our WW2 silhouette art work. Well done for your excellent creativity boys and girls!

Ms Barr's Class collaborative painting of 'the mona lisa'
We created a collaborative painting of 'The Mona Lisa' by Leonardo da Vinci. We split the painting into 24 pieces. Each child had to focus on their tiny piece and enlarge it, matching the colour as best as possible. Didn't it turn out amazing?!
Winter Birch trees
The children did a wonderful job at creating Winter birch trees. They stuck masking tape down on the page, ripping it in places to make the trees look more realistic. Then, they painted a background using Winter colours. To finish it off, they painted/drew shadows for the trees and added in some background drawings with Sharpies.

Mé Féin silhouettes
This month we were focusing on the theme of 'Mé Féin' in Gaeilge, which means 'myself'. The children took turns in drawing each other's silhouettes. They then wrote all about 'mé féin' in their silhouettes. They turned out so beautiful!
