Playground for a Sea Creature

The junior school have been very busy working on their major project for this term. Here they are working on a mixed media coral reef sculpture which will form part of their ‘Playground for a Sea Creature’. Thank you to everyone who has been collecting plastic containers and trays for us, it looks like we have enough and we will be utilising them next week! Stay tuned!

Invader Art - Mini Mosaic Pixel Art inspired by French Street Artist, Invader by the 3/4 classes.
