Harry Potter week for 8 to 12s

Continuing the theme of My World we had Harry Potter week for the 8 to 12 year olds this week. We read some of the place descriptions in the books noting the words used, especially all the adjectives and mental pictures they create. Some chose to write their own descriptive passages then, while others got straight to work on their ragdolls, mono-printing, button sewing and drawing. Things were so busy there was very little time for picture taking, but here are a few to give a flavour of Monday's creativity.

Famous 4 to 7 year olds

The 4 to 7 year olds were very proud of their media coverage this week. They feature on the front page of the Longford Leader's Life section. Thanks to Aisling and Michelle for making them famous! This week we had a few new members and the artroom was bustling with creativity again. We made some mixed up characters with cards, described some made-up ones with words, drew our own creatures with markers, pens and computer and created some scenes with felt pictures all in the space of an hour.
