We are having a great week at our school. A week totally focused on the Arts! Activities and challenges every day - performances, creation and excitement . . .
Today each class was given a bag of "stuff". We had to make a class mascot out of the things we were given. I went for a walk after school around the classrooms and was amazed at the different mascots that were created. These are just a few of the creations.
Tomorrow is our final day and there will be an unveiling of the mascots, and a releasing of 250 balloons into the community with messages inside from the children of the school. It has been a fantastic week although exhausting as well. Zero classes - all ARTS - Fantastic stuff!!
wow all the mascots are great, sounds like a fantastic week!

Those are wonderful Annie. Too often art is neglected in favour of the testable subjects of science maths and English inn the UK. I think this sort of thing is just as important. It teaches co-operation, manual skills, how different materials behave etc.
