We have been very busy this term in Visual Arts as the Art Show moves closer.

Early in term 3 there will be a huge exhibition of all the artwork that has been collected over the past 12 months, so stay tuned for updates in the near future.

Grade three have been busy with their snorkel pictures and should be proud of the results. 

Meanwhile grade two have used the Brighton beach boxes as inspiration for their very cute little beach houses.

Grade one have been sailing the mighty seas as pirates and mermaids upon the good ship ‘Polly’.

Finally, the grade preps have been learning a little bit about turtles, and grumpy goldfish.
