Sound Pictures

Hatching and Shading 

We studied "The Enraged Musician" by the artist William Hogarth. It is an etching and an engraving. We used hatching and shading techniques to create a sound picture.

Come Away with Me

We designed some beautiful tourist T-shirts. We chose various places from around the world and tried to capture the essence of the place. Don't they look good?

Let's Go Fly a Kite

We were delighted to welcome George and Glen from "Go Fly Your Kite" to our school. This workshop was organised in conjunction with Cavan Library as part of Science Week. We learned about the history and science of flight before designing and creating our kites.

STEAM Project

We have been trying to solve a problem related to flooding as part of a STEAM project. Their task was to design a structure that prevents a crop (cress) from being destroyed. Each group decided that the best idea would be a raised structure. In groups, they created different models using a range of materials.

Still Life Drawings

We have been learning about plants in Science. We use chalk pastels to create still-life drawings of various autumnal fruits and flowers.

Hallowe'en

Some of us dressed up for Hallowe'en. Dont we look scary?

Wizard Poem

We have been studying the poem "Wizard". We drew some of the images depicted in the poem.

Wizard

Under my bed, I keep a box

With seven locks,

And all the things I have to hide

Are safe inside:

My rings, my wand, my hat, my shells,

My book of spells.

I could fit a mountain into a shoe

If I wanted to,

Or put the sea in a paper cup

And drink it up.

I could change a cushion into a bird

With a magic word,

Or turn December into spring,

Or make stones sing,

I could clap my hands and watch the moon,

Like a white balloon,

Come floating to my window sill...

One day I will.

Shops

In Geography, we have been learning about Blanchardstown Shopping Centre. We designed some new shops that we'd like to open there.
