Our writing genre for this month has been procedural writing. The boys talked about the parts of procedures and how to use time connectives and bossy verbs to structure their writing. They then wrote procedures independently. The boys have worked unbelievably hard at their writing this year and we are thrilled with the progress they have made.

The boys used printing techniques and pastel colours to make these beautiful Easter bunnies and cards.

The boys in First Class are wonderful artists. These are some of the fantastic spring drawings they have done. Our classroom is alive with fresh spring colours!

Our artist of the month this month was the American artist Georgia O’Keeffe. She painted objects found in nature. She is most well know for her paintings of flowers. We explored her work and talked about the techniques she used. She painted the flowers so close up, with so much detail, that sometimes, they did not look like flowers anymore.

The boys loved her work and were inspired to paint their own flowers in the style of O’Keeffe’s paintings.

In Room One the boys have made wonderful progress in their Gaeilge. Look at this beautiful spring themed writing they have done.

The boys have put so much work into their clay creations! Look at these amazing birds and nests. We think they are fabulous. They cannot wait to bring them home.
