Marbling Art
This is quite a pungent activity to do in school as it involves oil paints and white spirit, so it should be done in a well-ventilated room such as the school hall or outdoors. Pupils of all ages can do this visual arts lesson and all pupils will experience success as there is little or no skill involved. All pictures will turn out differently and can be used for many different purposes

The Solar System Image Mat
With the theme of space well under way in many classrooms throughout the country for Space Week, these two image mats – one in English and one as Gaeilge – might be a welcome addition to talk, discussion and writing on the theme of space and the planets.
