New Bears Born Every Day

Many of the grade five and six children have finished their teddies, with new bears being "born" every day. Here are a few to share with you.

On To a New Project

With most of the photos taken for the grade 3/4 digital photo stories, it's time to move on to a new project. Complementing the work of our resident artist, Annette Sax, children will start to look at the published stories of collage artist and book illustrator, Jeannie Baker. Some collage work, using natural materials will be undertaken.

Artists in Schools Program

In the last two weeks the children in Grade 34 have met with artist Annette Sax and author Sue Atkinson. They have begun exploring the processes involved in writing and illustrating books and are gaining an appreciation of elements that affect what someone writes and draws. The children will now take a journey with Annette as she works to illustrate Sue's latest story, and use this as a model to write and illustrate their own personal stories using their heritage as a stimulus.
