We are looking for large cereal boxes (850gms +) to create skateboard templates.  Please drop any flattened boxes at the office or directly to the art room.

Heidi is also looking for cross stitch supplies for a lunchtime sewing club.  She is looking for donations of aida cloth, sewing hoops, DMC/Anchor cottons in various colours and simple cross stitch patterns.  Thank you!

The Year 5 and 6 students studied Blackburn North in the 1840s and made bird’s eye view maps and then they created overlay maps of Blackburn North in 2024. The students spent a number of art lessons working on their art works and created very detailed maps.  

The Year 1 and 2 students have been learning about maps and in particular the Melways. All the students used the Melways maps of Blackburn North which included Old Orchard Primary School to create their map collage pictures. The collage art works were inspired by the illustrations in the Charlie and Lola books.
