Last week, the children from 3rd – 6th class were asked to create some self-portraits in order to act as ‘supporters’ for the Wicklow match at the weekend in Aughrim. The stands were full of students from Ballyconnell NS as well as other primary schools in the area!! The children really enjoyed drawing these and created such wonderful, real-life portraits of themselves on A3 paper. The portraits were laminated also so that they could withstand the weather on the day! Let’s take a closer look at how some of the portraits turned out:
