Book Character Dress Up Day

On Friday we celebrated book week with a book character dress up day. The whole school gathered and each class went up and the children introduced themselves and shared the character from the book they had dressed as. The teachers dressed up as well. Room 1 was especially lucky as Willy Wonka brought in chocolate from his chocolate factory to share! Yum

Dot the Bay

We were really lucky to have Kerry and Pamela, visiting artists, come to teach each class in our school. We went outside and and looked for colours that represented how we felt about "The Bay". In our sketch books we drew patterns that inspired. We were given three colours - white, blue and yellow, as well as a colour of our choice to paint the background on our a spot. The next week we transferred our favourite pattern onto our spot using the techniques of impasto and scraffito.
We looked at the works of Yayoi Kusama who uses colour and pattern in her works.
We took our spots outside and made an art installation. Can you spot where we dotted our spots!!
