Sculpture

Today we explored sculptures in Visual Art! We began by talking about sculptures and the difference between 2D and 3D art. Then we looked at some examples of sculptures and noticed how they could be of absolutely anything. Teacher cut long and short strips of paper and we looked at three simple ways to manipulate paper; bending, rolling and folding. We gave each of the strips 'legs' and glued the 'feet' down so that they could stand up on the page. Then everyone made their own sculptures! It was amazing to see the different and creative ideas everyone had. There were so many other ways to fold, cut and use the paper to make really exciting 3D works of art!

At the end of the lesson everyone had made their own unique and individual work of art:

We decided to make an art gallery...on the ceiling!!!

The Restaurant

For November, we have been learning all about food. We have set up a restaurant in our classroom called An Bhialann, and spent last week making lots of different things for it, like menus, signs, ovens, flowers...we have been very busy!

Today we went to Java Juice on Haggard Street to learn about how their restaurant works! We got a great surprise when we saw they had sausages and juice and doughnuts for us too! They answered our questions and we got lots of information that we can bring to An Bhialann. They were very helpful and kind and made such an effort with us, so a massive thank you!!!

Have a look at these pictures of An Bhialann! We have waiters, customers, chefs and everyone gets involved!

Everyone is getting involved and working on oral language skills, writing orders, reading menus, and learning about people who work in our local community! 

Here you can see the plates of food we made last week in art! 

We have learnt two new Irish songs: 

1,2, 3, 4, 5, 6

Is maith liom báinne is cupán tae!

Is maith liom úlla is ceaparie, 

Brioscaí, criospaí is banana buí! 

An  maith liom cáis?

An maith liom práta?

An maith liom arán?

An maith liom tráta?

Is maith liom cáis.

Is maith liom práta.

Is maith liom arán.

Is maith liom tráta.

Ní maith liom cáis.

Ní maith liom práta.

Ní maith liom arán.

Ní maith liom tráta.
