Clay Cottages

After learning all about the Famine and reading our novel 'Under the Hawthorn Tree', the children created some wonderful clay models of the cottages found in Ireland in the 19th Century. It was great fun creating our paths, windows, doors and chimneys. We cannot wait to paint them!
 

Finished Products!!


We also created projects in groups based on the famine. We researched all about the Indian corn, relief work, workhouses, potato blight, soup kitchens, emigration, evictions and the changes after the famine. Well done to everyone for producing excellent projects!

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 .
