Wassily Kansdinsky


At the start of the school year we recreated Wassily Kansdinsky concentric circles. We put 6 to 8 circles on our page and drew miniature circles inside them. We were told to get creative and make the circles bright and colourful. The same colour wasn’t allowed to touch each other. We practiced our concentric circles on smaller pieces of paper. They also turned out good. It took us two art sessions to finish our concentric circles. We painted the concentric circles with different paints. Our pictures turned out really good.

Clay Tiles

In spring we made clay tiles. We drew normal pictures and we made view finders from thin cardboard. Then we put the view finders on the most detailed part of our drawing. We got some clay and we made it into a tile shape. Then we drew the part of the view finder onto the clay. When the clay had dried we painted it in bright colours and it was beautiful.





Ms O'Connor's Fifth Class have been participating in the Junior Entrepreneur Programme. We began as a group with many ideas in December. Following a Dragon's Den in our classroom, we took the advice of our dragons on board and decided to create a Multicultural Cookbook. We were so lucky to have over 20 different nationalities in our school so it was easy to get our hands on some tasty recipes from around the world.
We applied to our principal for a loan and were very lucky to receive one. We sent our recipes and drawings off to the printers and received a fabulous cookbook a few days later. We have successfully sold 350 books and have a great profit. We intend buying games for our playground so that all children in our school will benefit from the money we have made. Our teacher has promised us a little treat for all our hard work also!
