Irish Proverbs Illustrated (Whole School Project)

‘Irish Proverbs Illustrated’ on PhotoPeach

 

In this school we have an annual competition

to remember a much loved teacher

who encouraged children to be the best they can be. 

This year we held a competition asking the children

to illustrate an Irish proverb.

As every year,  it is lovely to see the development

of the children’s abilities

from Junior Infants to Sixth.

In each class three winners were selected.

So we have over fifty prizewinners here.

Congratulations and well done everyone.

Student Blogging Challenge 2013 continued. Week 5; A Secret in the Forest.

We are continuing with the Student Blogging Challenge.

This is Challenge 5.

We were asked to write a story

based on an image of a forest

where there was a signpost saying:

A Secret Hides In This Forest.

 

You can read about the challenge here:

 Student Blogging Challenge 5: Secrets

 

We made a Photopeach Slideshow.

Nicole wrote the story.

Isabella drew the cat.

Clara drew the fairy.

 

The other children in 2nd Class Room 6

had already created the backgrounds.

 

HERE it is….

We hope you enjoy it!

Signs of Spring Twitter Project chirpstory

Inspired by the Chinese Willow Pattern

Soon it will be Chinese New Year

We listened  to the story of the

Chinese Willow Pattern.

 

 

Then we acted out the story.

To finish we made ‘statues’

of that dramatic point in the story

where Li Chi’s Father tells Chang he must leave

and Li Chi begs her father to let her marry Chang.

We would love to hear what you think of our art.

A Reminder:

Please don’t leave your child to explore online unattended

The internet is a portal to the world outside.

Children should be accompanied on this journey 😉
