Christmas Art

It's getting to that time of year again. 

Christmas is firmly on our radar here in our classroom. 

Two of the boys from our class made their own cribs from scratch. They used shoeboxes for the stable and clay to make the characters. Each crib turned out completely unique. 

We decided to make some sock snowmen today. We used a white sock, rice, thread and some buttons to decorate. 

Here are our six socksnow man family all together. Last thing we need to do is give them names!

We decorated our door today for the Christmas carol concert. Poor Santa is stuck in the chimney! 

Here we are with our snowman decorations for the tree and our written cards. 

We finished off our Christmas cards today. We gave the reindeer their antlers and noses. 

Today as a sensory experiment made SNOW. 

It was two simple ingredients mixed together. 

It did give the texture of snow. It came together and would could make little snowballs. 

We continued with the Christmas tree theme today. We painted half of a tree then pressed the other half of the paper back on itself. We opened it up to a lovely symmetrical Christmas tree. 

A while ago we designed our own Cheistmas cards. They came back from the printer today. The designs all turned out lovely. We hope your family and friends enjoy getting the cards!

Today we made some modern art inspired Christmas trees. We cut out strips of different coloured card and layers them to made a tree. We then stuck lovely gold star on the top of our tree. 

We decided to get a start on making some special decorations for all of our Christmas trees at home. 

We mixed, cut out and baked the shapes ourselves. Then today we gave them the first coat of paint. 

We hope to add lots of glitter and ribbon when they are dry. 

The ribbon went on today!

Rain Rain Go Away

Rain rain go away....we made some beautiful umbrellas here in class today. 

First we traced the outline of the umbrella. 

Next we decorated them with colourful finger painting. 

Tomorrow we will add the handle and the rain drops!

Birthday party in our class

November is a busy birthday month we had another birthday today!!

We had a blast playing musical statues and musical chairs with our friends and teachers. 

We had lots of fun celebrating one of our friends' birthdays today in our class. We all sang happy birthday to him. 

He blew out the candles and we all had a piece of chocolate cake!

Soccer comes to Kilcoskan

We were very lucky to work with some very talented FAI soccer trainers this morning. We learned lots of new skills and had lots of fun in the process! 

We can't wait to work hard over the next few weeks and learn lots of new skills. 

Today our coach was very nice to us and gave us all a special present of a FAI back pack. 

We all love our new bags! 

Winter Art

Unfortunately Winter has arrived here in Kilcoskan. We all had to wear our big heavy coats to keep the wind and rain off us today!

We painted the trunk of the tree with brown paint. 

Then we used our hand prints for the branches. 

Then using white paint we painted on some snow.
