Art News

The Foundation students have been to the Zoo and in Art we have been enjoying Meerkat Mayhem! Wonderful meerkat portraits fill our office area and the Foundation space as well. There's soon to be Meerkat finger puppets and sock puppets leaving the art room! In many ways meerkats remind me of our fabulous Foundation students...they're inquisitive, friendly, like to play in groups and quickly know if something's not right! The sock puppet making will lead beautifully to the Dreamer puppet show that's visiting in the coming weeks. There's something quite magical about live theatre and I'm sure our 'meerkats', woops our Foundation students will be engrossed in the performance.

In Years One and Two we've been imagining dragons and in Year Three students are busy making echidna 'puggle pals'. Our Year Fours have the ultimate challenge with spaghetti bridges soon to be constructed. Will they feature trusses, suspension lines?? Let's wait and see. Great to see tomorrow's engineers today! The PLANKS incursion in mid November will further test their construction skills.

Year Fives are busy exploring the solar system as seen through the eyes of indigenous Australians and indigenous Aztecs in Mexico.

Our Year Six students will be hosting a visit from the National Gallery Of Victoria on the 8th November and then will find themselves busy creating their Visual Diaries. This 'keep-sake' of all the art created this year heralds the end of seven years of Primary school Art and I am always moved by the way the students assemble their diaries. From the innocent stick figure drawings I've seen in their Foundation year to the sophisticated ideas and skills I see in the final year, it's been quite a journey. Year Six, as always I salute you!!
