Arcimboldo Autumn Art

This week in G6 we have been busy collecting leaves from our school and transforming these into autumn art inspired by the Italian artist Giuseppe Arcimboldo. Arcimboldo used plants, fruits, nuts and seeds to create paintings of people.

 

The boys had great fun and showed real creativity to come up with fantastic portraits. Check out our pictures and video below.  IMG_1787 IMG_1773 IMG_1774 IMG_1775 IMG_1776 IMG_1777 IMG_1781

We Need Your Help

 

Greetings all,

Please can you take the time to fill in the survey the link below. It should take approx. 10mins to complete. Please return by

We would really appreciate your help in getting this survey out into the community.

Hands 4 Unity, a local group in Drogheda, was formed in 2019.  They aim to promote integration between the migrant community and Irish community.  As we enjoy reconnecting with family and friends COVID 19 spare a thought for those whose families live outside Ireland. Many Hands 4 Unity members work in the health sector and we are indebted to them and their colleagues for their commitment to keep services open and safe for the sick and vulnerable in our community.

During COVID 19 lockdowns Hands 4 Unity members met virtually and reached out to families in Ireland and abroad.  For the last few months they have participated in a training programme delivered by Innovating Communities and funded by Louth LEADER Partnership. The aim of the training programme is to adopt innovative methods to solve social problems.

This survey is conducted by Hands4Unity*, a local community group based in Drogheda, Louth, in partnership with Louth LEADER Partnership and Innovating Communities. The aim of this survey is to understand the lived experience of integration of the migrant community, and the first-generation, into Irish society.  We had a great response from health sector workers and would like to reach out to other sectors of society, particularly marginalised individuals and communities.

We are trying to understand the lived experience from the perspective of migrants, their children and the Irish community. We really appreciate your help.

The findings of the survey will be shared with participants and broad range of stakeholders.
