Third and Fourth Class this afternoon were very fortunate to visit the Arts Centre in Charlestown and go behind the scenes to enjoy a fantastic project ‘The Light Brigade’ by Tom Meskell.

Tom and his equally talented colleague Tommy Casby, have been working extremely hard sculpting paper lanterns in the shape of life-size horses. This work, will be part of a large exhibition of paper lanterns which will be exhibited in Connolly Barracks, Longford, on February 25th-27th (5 pm -8 pm).

The children of 3rd and 4th class loved learning about the process of how these beautiful pieces of art were created.

A very special word of thanks to Tom (facilitator for our Creative Schools Cluster) for inviting us to see how his wonderful work is progressing.

It was a lovely treat for our students to enjoy.
