Origami in Second Class
Local artist and author George Dempsey Flanagan visited
our school on Friday.
First he read his new book entitled ‘Swimsy the Goldfish’
to the girls in Second Class.
Next the girls looked at the beautiful
illustrations in the book. Then George showed them how
to make some of the characters using the art of origami.
The children enjoyed making these.
After lunch the children were invited to Spinners
where George read his book ‘The Adventures of Flopsy Hop
in Origami Wonderland’ in front of some TV cameras.
The children loved this story and they will be on Irish TV
in the near future!
Finally each girl received a beautiful origami bird
as a little gift from George.
They had a fantastic day.
