A quick look at some individual art work carried out by some of the pupils in the Senior Room in the lead-up to Christmas 2017.
Cruinniú na Nollag 2017
This year’s Christmas production was the brainchild of the Senior Room. There was a bit of everything in there – the 12 days of Christmas, the Grinch, Mr & Mrs Claus, gingerbread men, pine trees, all-sorts of angels – naughty & nice -, juicy holly berries and children through the ages, a little drummer boy, little stars, shepherds, children at play, etc… And of course rappers, ‘coz no Christmas Play is complete without the rappers!
Parents and grandparents enjoyed the variety of poems, raps, songs and good humour which the children put on display that night. All wrapped up in a lovely theme – ‘Where is Christmas?’
Fun in the Snow
Winter 2017 brought very little snow but the pupils of Dunsany NS were determined to make the most of what little they had. Here they are enjoying a break from practising for their ‘Cruinniú na Nollag’, which will be held on Wednesday 20th @ 7pm.
Native American Projects 2017
The Senior Room completed mini History/Art projects on the Native Americans in autumn-winter 2017. Here they are talking to the pupils of the other classes about their work.
There was some excellent embroidery work in evidence in many of the projects and a very scary, life-like tomahawk!
