The Olympics: Then and Now

This masterpiece was storyboarded, written, directed, filmed and edited by the kids of Room 14.

Our Papier Mache Town

This is how we made our papier mache (it's a French word) town.

The finished work. The kids were proud.

Crayons and Ink

A great idea shared within our team: Draw a cityscape with white crayon on A3 paper. Then colour within building shapes with coloured ink. Then colour in a night sky.

Come in to see the finished product.

Paper Mache Houses: Step 1

We have started work on our paper mache houses for the school's art exhibition.  Our team's theme is architecture and I think that the children will love the paper mache process: Making their own glue, slapping on the paper, painting the houses, seeing them on display ...

Step 1 was planning the house. We did this on Explain Everything with the hope of showing these on the kids' blogs and in the exhibition. The budding architects had the choice of drawing their plan on paper as well, which were photo-ed and put onto the EE activity/video.

Afternoon art

This afternoon we did some wet on wet watercolour painting. The class had drawn self portraits earlier in the week and these were going to serve as interesting backgrounds. The kids sat wonderfully as we talked about how to do it and were very engaged in their work as you can see in the photos. They're an arty bunch!
