Creative School Awards

On Saturday 9th June an award ceremony was held in the school hall. Four classes showcased their 'Creative School Awards' projects to parents and members of the A.C.A.E. It was a fantastic morning.

Room 11's project centered around photography and how we can use this resource in other areas of the curriculum. Our project consisted of lots of different things such as photostories, story writing, poetry writing, history (comparing confirmation photos from 1988 and 2011 and history of photography), science (importance of light and making pinhole cameras) geography (map making) and visual arts which incorporated our work with another project we were involved with this year.

All the children in room 11 got involved in this project and truly deserved their award.

Well done to all involved in the 'Creative School Awards' project: Room11, Room 13, Room 12 and Room 9!

Here are some photographs of the children from room 11 at work on the project.

Here are some photographs of the award ceremony. Ciaran, Alice, Leah and Ryan gave a presentation about our project at the award ceremony. Conor and Ellen received the certificate on behalf of the class. Kellie represented our class at the presentation of the whole school award.
