3rd and 4th class explored the theme ‘Accomplishment’ for the ICA Art competition this year. We discussed the meaning of accomplishment and discovered that these could be somethings already accomplished or something we hope to accomplish in the future. The children also identified that all accomplishment are important, whether they are big or small.
Congratulations to our prize winners:
1st: Conor Butler
2nd: Nina Timmins
3rd: Seán Byrne
4th: Megan Mernagh
