Junior Infants
At the beginning of the year childrens’ art is based on the theme ‘Me’. Children decorate their name, their handprint, their face and their birthday balloon. During the year art is linked to seasonal events i.e. Hallowe’en, Christmas, Easter. Art is also integrated with the curriculum i.e. Religion, S.P.H.E. , Nursery Rhymes & S.E.S.E. Children work with clay, learn to cut and construct and work with fabric & fibre.
Senior Infants
Alot of art work throughout the year is curriculum based and corresponds with special events in Religion such as Our New Bishop and Our Parish. Other themes such as Seasons and Friendship are also channeled through childrens’ art work.

School Murals
A visiting artist has recently painted a beautiful mural on one of the school walls. Each child got to put their own hand print on the mural which they really enjoyed and will be there for them in years to come if they return to visit our school. Below are some photos of the murals that have been painted around our school grounds. These murals help make our school look very bright and the children have been involved in alot of the paintings from painting to making hand prints.
Our school was very lucky to have a talented team of artists from The Academy Boys Secondary School, Mallow come to our school in 2011 and paint a mural of our nearby national treasure which is Doneraile Park. The mural is in the main corridor of the school, it was completed under the watchful eye of Regina Glynn and as you will see from the pictures below the boys did a beautiful job and we are very proud of it. A huge thank you to Regina who also did two art lessons with fourth class on ‘Drawing Animals’ and to the artists Darrah Meaney, Paul Weedle & Thomas Hunt for doing a fantastic job.
