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.
