Starry Night

We have been looking at impressionist artists and their artworks this term. Today we examined "Starry Night" by Vincent Van Gogh.
2F made some excellent observations about this famous painting and then we had a go at our interpretation of it!
We started drawing in lead pencil and then everyone chose if they wanted to use textas, oil pastles or pencils to add colour and detail.

Library Awards Term 2

Congratulations to these students who have had outstanding participation in Library lessons this Term!

My Place

This term in HSIE we have been learning all about "The Way We Were". We explored this interesting website today to look at the way children in Australia have lived since 1788.

Click here if you would like to explore the My Place website. You could look at the year you were born, or the year your parents were born.
