On 15th
of January, Reenascreena N.S. went to the West Cork Art Centre for an
exhibition, but got a surprise when they found out they were going to
be doing a musical workshop with Martin and Nico.
Martin and Nico are two
brilliant funny entertainers. Martin was playing the double bass and
didgeridoo, while Nico played guitar, the piano accordion and sang a
number of songs. It was most entertaining act I've ever seen. The
pupils of Reenascreena told me they had been there a few times before
and they said it was the best workshop they had ever been to. They
also told me that Nico had them acting out and playing games.
Their teachers Mrs Dignan
and Ms Murphy said the children and they had learned a lot and can't
wait to go back next time. I also learned a lot and can't wait to
see what they'll be hosting next time.

On 15th
of January Reenascreena School took a trip to the West Cork Art
Centre to see the exhibition in Skibbereen.
Two musicians Nico and
Martin started them off with some excellent music. Nico played the
guitar mostly and singing songs and poems. Martin played the mobile
bass, didgeridoo and the saw.
Alison Trim the Artist
took us next door to show us some of the other children's work,
which was baked on construction.
Most of the children loved
the musical act from the two excellent musicians. I interviewed some
of the children, this is what they said.
Robert: I
thought the pirate act was really funny because we had to think of
something in the chest.
Michael: The
scariest part was when the lady in the story took the person apart to
make a violin.
The children had very good
fun at the art centre and so did I.
