BLAST- Arts in Education Residency Programme 2023-2024

Taunagh N.S. was awarded a fully funded BLAST in-school residency opportunity via the new BLAST Arts in Education Residency Programme 2023/2024.

The BLAST Arts in Education Residency application is funded by the Department of Education and stands for ‘Bringing Live Arts to Students and Teachers’.

The Junior Room children were learning all about penguins and Irish seals in SESE so we decided to ask our artist Rebecca Massey to help us.

The children learned how to draw a penguin and chick. They also made fabulous seals from clay. Rebecca showed them how to mould the clay and use slip to smooth out the cracks.
