Did you know?
• 1.5 million people lived in cottages in Ireland in 1845.
• Cottiers lived in one room huts made of stone or turf.
• Cottiers didn’t pay rent. Instead they worked on the landlord’s farms. The family slept on beds of rushes.
• Tennant farmers’ cottages had no windows and only a hole in the roof as a chimney.
• Some people still live in thatched cottages today.

Christmas Art with Mrs Magnier

This Christmas we made two different presents. First we made orange pomanders. These are made with oranges and cloves. Did you know that Queen Elizabeth 1st of England used to wear them!! Maybe that was because of their nice smell. Next we made coil pots.

Here are some of them. Coil pots have been made for thousands of years. They are found in many museums around the world. They are made by building up layers of coils of clay.

We painted the cloil pots in lots of different colours.

Here is my pomander.

I painted my coil pot a lovely gold colour!


I painted some dragons on my coil pot. I am from Wales and the Welsh Dragon is the symbol of Wales.
