Group of Seven and Poppies









We have had a busy and productive last few weeks in art in 5S. The children worked on recreating Group of Seven pieces using a collage technique. The boys and girls had to decide how to represent the images, colours, composition of the original painting using only coloured construction paper and their own creativity. Their work looks fantastic and it is on display in the classroom. The children also got a head-start on some artwork surrounding a Remembrance Day theme. They have started AMAZING painting of poppies in an unusual layout. They used a cardboard pieces to paint instead of brushes to create a different effect.

It is a busy week with Halloween and lots of sporting events. On Friday, the children can bring $2 to support UNICEF and for doing this, they may dress in civvies for the morning. Since we have gym, this will mean coming to school in gym strip (as usual) and then changing into civvies for the rest of the morning. Then, at lunch, the boys and girls will change into their costumes :)
