Steve Simpson visits St. Ultans

Every April in St. Ultan’s we learn about an artist, and the children create displays based on that artist’s work. This year our artist was Steve Simpson. Steve has drawn cartoons for Danger Mouse, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, as well as comics like the ‘Beano’.

Have a look at the photos below to find out more about Artist Appreciation April and Steve Simpson.

Have a look at the video below of all of the children’s displays from Artist Appreciation April. Keep an eye out for Múinteoir Brian’s class and their special ‘Views of Cherry Orchard’. Múinteoir Brian’s class were our ‘Senior’ Winners. Múinteoir Sarah’s Class won our ‘Junior’ Artist Appreciation April competition.

Here are some more photos from Steve Simpson’s visit today, and our special Assembly with him.
