Today was our first meeting with Arts Beyond the classroom. We started off by having a group discussion about what has isnspired us most lately. (It's harder than you think!) After careful consideration I chose Avator (partly because it's the only thing I've seen lately) I wouldn't say it inspired me but it definetley made me think about life and our planet and how precious everything on earth is. It also encouraged me to buy Elise a pet hamster he's growing on me!!!

"I think what i have learnt the most about this project is.......wait for it....is SELF BELIEF. If an artist or anyone, writes, sings, dances or sculpts etc and believes they have done a good job, well thats all that matters....i have doubted myself in the past, lacked believing in myself and what i can achieve....”

"We have decided to take Ryan and Naombh somewhere at least once a month and have figured that with our children its best sometimes just to get on a bus or tube and just see what's going on ,sort of exposing them to the arts accidentally there is so much to see and do"
