Spooky Spiders!

Joy and the Crew worked together to create this picture of spiders in a web using egg cartons and scraps of coloured paper. This picture now hangs above our classroom door. Look at those scary eyes!

Symetrical Blob Paintings

last week i was absent from school due to illness. The children enjoyed their time with Joy, one of their favourites casual replacement teachers. Joy is an art teacher, so when I returned the room was full of mini projects she worked on with the kids. Thanks Joy!

What's Bugging You? - Paper Mache

We are in the process of making some giant paper mache bugs to serve as a visual reminder of strategies we can use when people or situations are 'bugging us'.

So far we have chosen a balloon shape to form the base of our bug, added some features with card stuck to the balloon with masking tape and added 3 layers of paper and glue to form our hard shell.

It has been a bit of a test of patience and commitment but we can see that they are going to be the basis of some awesome bugs!

We will keep you posted as the project develops.

Paper Weaving

Paper weaving can be very soothing or frustrating, depending on how good your fine motor skills

are. the Junior Crew had fun experimenting with colour, cuts and drawings and were very pleased with their results.
