Life on the farm!

Icon Art
This week we were very lucky to have Father Daniel come into school to speak to Classes 3 and 4 about 'Iconography'. The children spoke with Father Daniel about our own religious art and were very interested to learn about icons and how they changed over the years, particularly within different religions. The children were very intrigued to learn that paint used in iconography can be made using eggs!
