Stage 4 : “Sharing Our Art Stories” June 2024
Stage 4 of our @Leargas_etwinn Sharing our ART stories.
We explored powerful images in History that told a story.
We recreated 3 images from History.
We loved the famous image - 'Lunch Atop a Skyscraper' 1932 and started off this stage by trying to recreate it.
For our 2nd image we recreated a scene from a Soup Kitchen in Ireland during the Famine Times.
The #GreatFamine occurred in 1845 - 1849 in Ireland when the potato crop failed and caused hunger, starvation and death.
And finally, as we are currently reading "The Spirit of the Titanic " by @NicolaPierce3 we tried to recreate an image of a Family leaving Ireland on the #Titanic in hopes of finding a better life in America.
Stage 5 : “Sharing Our Art Stories” June 2024
Stage 5 of our @Leargas_etwinn #Project “Sharing Our Art Stories”

Exploring Chemical Reactions between
Acids & Bases
First up we had our the three girls who made “Elephant Toothpaste” for us. 👏👏🐘🐘
Then we had our three girls who caused a chemical reaction by adding Vinegar to Bread soda….causing an explosion.
Sounds & Forces
Next up we had M who explored the connection between #Force & #Sound & Z who volunteered (we feel he was very brave!)
👏👏
Mixing Oil & Water
Next up was L who showed us that oil and water don’t mix. The water always goes to the bottom as it has a higher density than oil.
R & J who also did an oil and water experiment. They added a food colouring to the oil so we could see the oil bubbles rising to the top.
Science Experiments at Home
Some of our fantastic students tried out some of the Science Experiments at home having watched the SFI Curious Minds Science Week Video in school yesterday.
