St. Brigid's Day Art

Grandparents' Day

The children in 2nd Class were so excited to welcome their grandparents into our classroom for Grandparents' Day as part of Catholic Schools Week! The children got to ask the grandparents about what school was like for them when they were younger. It was a great day for everyone❣️

Colour Theory

The children in 2nd Class learned all about the primary colours in art. We looked at the work of Dutch painter Piet Mondrian who often only used primary colours in his paintings. The children used Mondrian's work as inpiration for their own art - exploring line and shape too!

In the following weeks we began to investigate the secondary colours. We used the colour wheel to easily display the primary, secondary, warm and cool colours to help us learn the basics of colour theory!

Bodhrán with Kane

The children in 2nd class have been learning how to play the bodhrán under the wonderful guidance of Kane. The children are really enjoying playing and might even showcase their work at the Christmas concert this year!
