Inspiring Art Trip

Rooms 4-7 recently went to see Esther at the library for an art lesson based on Eric Carle's illustrations. He paints onto tissue paper and then uses this paper to create his illustrations of animals. First we painted 3 different designs on tissue paper, then we drew the outline of an animal and used the tissue paper to fill it in. It was quite tricky but we had lots of fun.

ANZAC

Today Mrs Beyer-Reiger visited our class to show us her army gear. Maggie got all dressed up including holding the teddy bear (that Mrs Beyer-Reiger said actually belonged to Mr Beyer-Reiger!) Maggie said the uniform was really hot and she didn't know how they could wear it all day. Then Pad-Thai got to wear the gas mask. She said it felt really tight around her face.
Mrs Beyer-Reiger explained that the army today is busy peace keeping and helping in other places like Vanuatu after the cyclone. She also showed us how they slept in trenches and cooked their food. It was really interesting to learn all about it from someone who served in the army!
