Art Project: Creating a Mural in Another School

Thanks to Ms Costello for organising an Art project for 5th years, which gave them another opportunity to express their creativity.

"Some 5th year students have been working on an Art mural project for a special needs pre-school. The group worked to a brief given by the teachers of the school, to design a mural to help the sudents with their learning. On 31 January, the group met with the teachers in St Colmcille, Donaghmende, to present their ideas and to get feedback on the mural design. The design included characters from well-known children's stories and songs. It included many shapes and objects for the children to identify and count."
