Wednesday Sept. 10

I enjoyed meeting my Pre-K students today and had fun creating art with the shapes and colours they are learning with Mrs. Padovan.

In JK/SK we made a classroom quilt. Each student drew a picture of themselves and one favourite thing on their square. It was wonderful to get to know a little bit about each child today. I will be putting the quilt together and it will be displayed in the classroom.

The grade one's were full of sunshine today as we made suncatchers. Last week the students learned about primary and secondary colours and made their own colour wheel. The suncatchers were made using primary coloured tissue paper that overlapped. When the children held them up to the sun, they were able to see the secondary colours they had created. The students loved this "magic".

The grade two class got lost in the jungle today as we painted like Rousseau. Using leaves to create patterns, lush green jungles appeared.

The Upper School will have a gallery of House logos to show next week. I am really excited about seeing the finished product of all the hard work that has gone into thier creations. One logo will be selected from each House to be the official House logo.
