Autumn Art Display

The colours of autumn are red, orange, yellow, gold and brown. We are learning about the red squirrel and the hedgehog. Chestnuts or conkers fall from the Horse Chestnut Tree.
We used our handprints to make out trees and made falling leaves using finger painting. What a super job!

Handprint Tulips

We made handprint tulips for Art class this week. We made a video on the visualiser of the instructions we followed. There is a similar idea on DLTK Spring Crafts website.

Mums make children blossom.

Happy Leap Day! 29th February 2012

We celebrated Leap Day today in Leckaun National School. We know the rhyme;

Thirty days has September

April, June and November,

All the rest have thirty one,

Except February twenty eight alone,

In a leap year once in four, 

February has one day more.

Leap days happen every four years when we have an extra day in February. When a baby is born on the Leap Day it is very special. They usually have something in the evening news where the parents of the leap babies are interviewed. 

The Junior Room made "Leckaun Leap Day Headbands". It was really fun and we got to wear them home.
We do not have an extra day of school because of the Leap Day. The next Leap Day is in 2016. We talked about what class we will be in for the next Leap Day.

Happy Chinese New Year!

Today we celebrate Chinese New Year. 2012 is the Year of the Dragon. We had a raffle and some children won Chinese New Year Calendars. The Junior Room made Dragon masks. We gave the Senior Room a fright!
