At the Coalface

3rd, 4th and 5th Class had a blast on their tour to Castlecomer. After a snack, our helpful tour guide, Mary, showed us some amazing sand sculptures.

Jackson Pollock, Lego Bricks and Twitter

As part of a Twitter project (http://twitter.com/carlowetns/twexp1), 20 schools are tweeting about the most expensive painting in the world.  No, it’s not the Mona Lisa by Leonardo de Vinci or even Van Gogh’s Sunflowers; it’s Number 5 by Jackson Pollock, which was sold for $140m in 2006.  The painting is an abstract one so it […]
