The Children of Lir

During the month of September, we learned about the Children of Lir in History. The story is set in Ireland long ago. The main characters are King Lir, his four children Fionnuala, Con, Aodh and Fiachra and their evil step mother Aoife. There is also lots of magic in this story. We also discovered the meaning of legends, and brainstormed other examples of Irish mythical tales. We created some very eye-catching artwork which has got lots of compliments from other teachers! We painted the background using cool colours, and made swans for the top using tin foil.

The trees called birches have long been known for their beautiful bark.  N ative Americans used birch bark to make canoes, tepees, and moccasins. Today people use birch wood to make furniture, flooring, and plywood. The bark of all birches is characteristically marked with long, horizontal lenticels, and often separates into thin, papery plates, especially upon the paper birch. Birch trees have simple leaves with toothed edges called margins. They often appear in pairs, but these pairs are really borne on spur-like, two-leaved, lateral branchlets.
