Harry Hawk has been caught….

Posted on April 30, 2012 by Miss Hallinan's Class (2nd)

We were all delighted to find out today on our Twitter account that Harry Hawk has been put in prison. We read about it in the Intervole newspaper “The Daily Vole”. The fake paintings were bugged and this lead the police to his house. The funny thing was that Harry Hawk wanted to steal the 9 paintings as a Birthday present to himself. He got a nice present when he ended up in a cage!!

Read all about it in the paper The Daily Vole – 30-04-2012.

For our efforts to help Leo the Vole we got a nice certificate for our classroom. Well done everyone!

Twitter Art Project

Posted on April 25, 2012 by Miss Hallinan's Class (2nd)

We are really enoying the Twitter Digital Art Project. Our mission is to stop Harry Hawk @HarryHawk1 from stealing the paintings from the art gallery. Intervole  - Leo the Vole @Leo_the_V has received word on what is happening and is in the middle of creating “fake” versions of the paintings. However he needs our help and the help of other schools. Every day we must look at 3 famous paintings and fill out three questions on the Google Art Project website to help Leo the Vole to complete his paintings. We have them all correct so far.

This is a list of the paitings we have looked at on Tuesday and Wednesday so far:

Responding Day 1
“Bedroom at Arles” by Van Gogh
“The Nightwatch” by Rembrandt
“The Cholmondeley Ladies”

Responding Day 2
“Battle of San Romano” by Paolo Ucello
“Still Life: Tea” by Jean-Étienne
“The Wedding Party” by Rousseau

We also tweet to Leo the Vole every day and Harry hawk. (Keep your eyes peeled for him)!

Digital Art Week

Posted on April 23, 2012 by Miss Hallinan's Class (2nd)

This week is Digital Art Week. There are lots of fun activities to take part in. One of them is the digital art treasure hunt. An Art Thief known only as “Hawk” is wanted for stealing some of the world’s most famous paintings. If seen, do not approach. This is a job for Leo the Vole. We have joined up with schools around Ireland on Twitter to help Leo the Vole capture Harry Hawk with some art puzzles. In this project we will get to explore some of the world’s most famous art pieces and learn lots about them through conversing with other schools and our hero Leo. We are so excited. Tomorrow we will get our first clue. You can follow us on twitter on @2ndculleens.

 
We will also create lots of digital art using a computer program or an app. Stay tuned for updates.

Posted on March 28, 2012 by Miss Hallinan's Class (2nd)

After PE in the Sports and Leisure Centre, 2nd class went to the Ballina Arts Centre. We saw an exhibition called “High Now Low Brown” exhibition by artist Bernadette Kiely. It was lovely. When we got back to school we had our lunch and then had lots of fun at “Bóthar Day”. We made lots of purchases. After lunch we all got our jobs for our First Holy Communion which will be on the 5th of May.
Have a look at the art exhibition photos.
