The boys and girls in 5th and 6th Class learned all about the Spanish artist Joan Miró. Check out their artwork.
Second Class really enjoyed learning about Germany in SESE recently. We decided to do a little further research of the country and the children gathered lots of extra information for their fact file sheets (see above). The children loved learning about the different foods in Germany, They also loved to hear about some of the German traditions and they couldn't believe that there is such a thing as the Autobahn. It led to a whole class discussion of road safety and rules of the road. The children were engaged and excited to share their knowledge of the country, in particular, all their football knowledge!
4th & 5th class were learning all about Joan Miro the Spanish Artist. After studying his work and historic collection the class created some excellent artwork using his techniques.
