After a flurry of activity we have enough photographs to create our 2016 Art Show! The main event will happen on Oct 11th - with a time TBA, but it will be after school. Works from Piccino to Year 5 will be on display and I must say that the effort put in has been monumental and impressive. We will also have available coffee table books of the photos the children have taken. There will be a Piccino - Year 1 Edition as well as a Year 2 - Year 5 Edition. Price point is yet to be determined, but they will be a lovely keepsake and all profits will go to the P&F as a fundraiser. 

I also wanted to send out a special thank-you to the Year 5 parents who have gone above and beyond in helping source strange and wonderful items for their children's art projects! I have enjoyed seeing the finished products being delivered to me in person and by e-mail. We also had another special parent moment when Sophie and Will's mum Felicity came into the art room to check out what happens during the Piccino art lesson. It was wonderful to have her in and she even contributed to our group art project! Thanks so much for the visit. Although I have never put out a formal invitation for parents to join in on art class, the door is always open and you are welcome to have a look (and a try!) at what we are up to.  For those who cannot make it in, I have put lots of updates on the Junior Art Blog in the last few weeks - so click and have a look. www.juniorarthamiltoncollege.weebly.com
