Trees of Ireland

As part of our Science strand: Living Things, we are studying the trees of Ireland.  In particular we are looking at the trees in our local area.  For homework we had to collect leaves and sort them out at school.  We collected the leaves from the following trees:

Willow, Horse Chestnut, Sycamore, Birch, Oak, Holly, Hazel, Hawthorn, Ash and Beech.

We laminated one of each type of leaf for our classroom display.

ART HISTORY-Vincent van Gogh

This month we studied the life of the artist Vincent van Gogh and researched his paintings and the techniques he used while creating his works.

We chose his "Sunflowers" painting to examine closely and we recreated this piece ourselves using pastels.

We hope you like our drawings.
