They got 20 A3 sheets, stuck them together, drew out and then painted the background. They stuck stars on and also black paper to look l...

by Matthew Aherne, Niamh, Daisy, Odhran Loughman, Andrew and Róisín.  October 2017 At Halloween we decided to learn a scary dance. It was “Thriller” by Michael Jackson. We watched videos and practised what we saw. It wasn't too hard because we learned it in a day. The next day Jamie filmed our class when we were in our costumes.

Posted on by B. O'Leary
by Grace, Isabella, James, Katie & Tom October 2017 This year for Halloween we dressed up in various costumes. Most were scary but some were creative. Our teacher dressed up as Batman. Here are our costumes!             Later we went down to the hall. All the classes showed off their costumes. After that we had a scary break. On break we watched the Thriller video.

Halloween Art

Posted on by B. O'Leary
by Evan, Tessa, Ava, Jamie, Holly & Luke October 2017 This year, for our Halloween art we did spooky silhouettes. First we had to paint the background either blue or orange and red.

Some people painted witches, pumpkins, bats and haunted houses. Everyone did brilliantly.        Mr. O'Leary helped ...
