Art History October 2012

6th Class studied all about Art History in October 2012. 
We paired up with a friend and studied one famous artist for the month. We researched our projects on the internet and by using some library books. We completed fact files and information pages on the artists. We even tried our hand at painting some of their famous pieces....They looked great in our Art Exhibition. 

We then presented the projects in front of our teacher and class....We really enjoyed the project and we even dressed up as the artists for our Halloween party :) 

Aquarium from Sealife

4th and 5th class received an aquarium from Sealife and Blackrock Education Centre. We looked after the aquarium for four weeks. There were four fish in the aquarium.

Step it Up - Keeping Healthy During Operation Transformation

We are taking part in Operation Transformation in our school. Everyone is trying to be more healthy, to eat better and to do more exercise. Our parents and staff have even set up their own Operation Transformation Groups.

To help everyone in the school be fitter and more active the girls from 6th class went to every other class in the school to teach them the Step It Up dance. Here is a video of some of the girls teaching the dance to Junior Infants. Everybody danced and jumped and clapped. It was a great idea to keep everyone warm on a cold day.


The girls were very enthusiastic and the kids had a really great time.
