1st and 2nd class Comenius project groups!!
We have five groups in our class.
We have named the groups after our Comenius
Partners-Spain, Finland, France, Austria, and England.
We had a Country of the Week project.
We learned about one of our partner countries and
looked at the Comenius website and other interesting sites.
Every week we had a party with food from the country
we were learning about.
It was fun.
Art from Reused and recycled materials
Here are some pictures we made from Fabric and Fibre
Old clothes and sacks were cut up to provide the
materials
Buttons, ribbons, trims and lace were collected also.
The stones were simply collected and painted!
The tiles were acquired from a tile shop which was
closing down! We painted the tiles.
Recycling activities
Halloween Art
from reused and recycled materials!
As part our Visual Arts Curriculum we decided to
design and make Halloween Costumes
We reused and changed the appearance of old clothes to
make costumes.
We created new costumes from recycled materials.
We used ordinary clothes with face paint to create
scary characters.
All the ideas were unique and different.
We had prizes for the best efforts.
We hope you like our ideas!

Ready for a day without electricity !
Yesterday we've checked the amount of electricity we were using at school.
Then we've used a special equipment to check the electricity consumption of every appliance we have.
Today we will avoid using them !
