Solas Picker Pal Art Competition entry.
Solas pupils worked together on a construction to show that being a litter picker starts in your own locality. They worked together to construct , paint and decorate a house for the Picker Pals. The Picker Pals had a busy job, as you can see from the photo as it was extremely messy with lots of waste when they moved into the house. Picker Pals is an environmental programme that the children in Solas are focusing on as part of their Green Schools’ work this year. I’m sure yourself agree that they did a great job!
Whether they win a competition or not they had fun working together!
Happy Valentines Day!

Happy Newyear!

Halloween!
Relax, Dream Big!
Lovely day for a walk!

Lovely memories from Solas a Dó during this school year .
The children in Solas picked their favourite colour of wool and Ryan designed the cushion. The class took turns on their movement breaks weaving. They made a beautiful piece which was used to make a cushion for Solas and a cushion for each child to bring home. It was a fantastic opportunity to practice the tradition of weaving while working on fine motor skills and enjoying movement breaks.
The children in Solas a Dó enjoyed working on Noah’s Ark as part of their reversed integration with their peers.
Children in Solas made a beautiful woven wall hanging. During reversed integration, they taught friends how to use the loom and enjoyed learning to sew to finish off their masterpiece.Beautiful beads, feathers and twigs were added. I think you’d all agree that they did a super job! A special thank you to Sharon for lending us her loom and guiding us as we all upskilled!
