During Book Week, we had an In-School Art Competition on the theme of books. There were 2 winners picked from each classroom who got to choose a free book from the Book Fair. The winners from Ms. Power’s Classroom were Georgia McCordick & Rebecca Ward. Here are the book covers they designed! There were 2 winners in Ms. Dennehy’s Classroom…
Making spring daffodils in the Middle Classroom With spring slow to arrive with snow and frost forecast, the Middle classroom decided to make their own daffodils and create their own bright springlike display. Using paints and egg cartons, they painted the egg carton shapes and stuck them to their paintings which were prepared earlier.
We all designed book covers for the book ‘Under the Hawthorn Tree’ which was about a family that lived in famine times in the mid nineteenth century.
