Junior and Senior Infants

We painted pumpkins and made bales for our Autumn Aistear theme.

1st and 2nd Class

We learned all about the life cycle of an oat tree. We collected lots of Autumn leaves and learned how to identify them.

3rd and 4th Class

We learned all about the Dutch artist Piet Mondrian. He is best know for his abstract paintings. We used colours, shapes and textures to create these beautiful pieces of artwork.

5th and 6th Class

We created personalised t-shirts based on the work of artist, Piet Mondrian.

Junior Infants – 1st day of school!!!

All classes, Juniors – 6th Class are currently preparing a time capsule project.

The infant room will design and paint some lovely fairy doors for our school garden.
