Kandinsky's Abstract Art

We had great fun with abstract art just like the Master Artist Wassily Kandinsky. Kandinsky is a famous Russian artist and pioneer of the Abstract Art movement.

He found lots of inspiration for his artworks from listening to music.

Here are some facts about Kandinsky:

Wassily Kandinsky is one of the most famous artists in the world. He is known for being the first ABSTRACT artist!

ABSTRACT art means that the artwork is made up of lines, shapes and colors that do not represent anything.

Kandinsky had a genetic condition called synaesthesia, which is mixing up of his senses. This allowed him to SEE sounds and HEAR colours.

Wassily would often paint while listening to music.

Some of his paintings are called Compositions just like musicians compose or write music.

Take a look at his artworks and you may see lines and shapes that look like musical notes.

Our Class Wins First Place in Art Competition!

Our 3rd Class has won First Place in the Calf & Cuckoo Art Competition ! Their artwork, created as part of the Burrenbeo Trust’s place-based learning programme, was showcased during the Winterage Weekend Cattle Drive at Irish Natural Stone in the Burren. The judges were deeply impressed by the students’ knowledge of the Burren landscape and their creative expression of what makes our place special. This is a fantastic achievement and the children were delighted to hear the news! We’ll receive a class prize and the students’ artwork back in the spring, along with a school visit and field trip later in the year.

Science Week as Gaeilge

Third Class were invited by Ms. Burke to the Fifth and Sixth Class classroom to ask questions as Gaeilge about the wonderful creations made by the students. We asked questions such as “Cé mhéad seomra atá i do theach? Cén seomra is fearr leat? An bhfuil aon scáthán/seomra spraoi/áiléar i do theach? Inis dom faoi do theach.” Tá na daltaí i Rang a Cúig agus Rang a Sé iontach ag labhairt faoina gcuid tithe. Maith sibh agus go raibh míle maith agaibh as an gcuireadh .

Science Fair during Science Week 2025

Third Class had a wonderful science fair during Science Week! All classes came to visit and thoroughly enjoyed the day. The children created scientific questions and prepared their experiments. Each group displayed the materials needed and explained the procedure to visitors so that they could recreate the experiments at home.
