My
Digital Camera
On
Tuesday I went up to Ballybrit Business Park for my camera.
H.P were the people who were giving away the prizes. There
were winners from Limerick, Galway, Clare and Mayo. I won the
over third class in Mayo. Another person in our school won the
third in the
under 10 competition. My camera has
recording and its zoom is class. There was a clown there and
she was crazy. We got free Frisbees, cd holders and goodie
bags. But the goodie bags weren't that good because there was
only oranges and
Capri-suns.
After the ceremony I went
to
Supermac's. I ate a lot. I liked the camera.

Wood Carving Exhibition.
There is an exciting exhibition
going on in the school at the moment. One of our parents,
Vincent O'Callaghan, has brought in some of his wood carvings
and they are on exhibition in the front hall of the school at
the moment. They are attracting great
interest as they of
a very high quality. We hope to get Vincent to come into
the school in September and give a talk to the pupils about
his work and hopefully we will have some workshops around
this.

Around
Christmas time, a lady from the Mayo County Council called
Bernie Garvey O'Mara came to our school. She showed us a
number of paintings she had painted herself which were hung
around the school. They were all the same style of paintings
but contained completely different scenes. We all had to pick
our favourite one and then paint our own version of it. After
we had seen all of her paintings we went into the Hall and
started painting our own paintings. We used odd objects to do
this, like credit cards and knives. The reason we were using
credit cards and knives is because the credit cards gave a
wavy effect and I think the knives were meant to do the same
thing but there weren't enough credit cards. There were about
five tables in the Hall so there were about five people at a
desk. Nearly all the people at my desk did a painting which
looked |
|
|
| | |
|
|
|
|
|
like
palm trees growing out of the wavy sea. They turned out pretty
well but not as good as Olga's (Olga is Paddy's English
teacher). She also teaches art in some of the classrooms in
our school. She does art in our class quite a lot and is
obviously very good. So what she painted, was a fish at the
bottom of the sea swimming around with reeds from the seabed.
She used a credit card to make the reeds so they looked as
though they were moving around in the sea. Everyone thought it
was brilliant. So at the end of the day I'd say that everyone
had a good time and were pleased with their paintings- because
I know I did!
