Ms. Clare’s Senior Infants were busy creating beautiful, eye-catching autumnal leaves in art this week using card, black sugar paper, aluminium foil and oil pastels.
The children really enjoyed colouring in the different sections of the leaves various different colours and loved using the oil pastels. They also added in some fine details using match sticks and stuck them onto aluminium foil before backing it with black sugar paper. They all turned out very well and looked lovely up on our art display wall!
