Cherry Blossoms
As cherry trees are bursting with pink and white blooms all over the city, the kindergarten students created their own cherry blossom paintings. To add a fluffy texture to our paintings, we used cotton balls, held by clothespins, to paint the cherry blossoms.
First, we painted our backgrounds and trees.
Then, we used cotton balls to add the cherry blossoms. We used darker pink colors first, and then used the lighter pinks on top. Some students chose to add white cherry blossoms as well.

Winter Trees
We created winter trees with oil & chalk pastels. We drew the trees with markers, and then used the pastels to add snow. We used our fingers to blend the snow on the tree branches, creating a soft effect. I love how each piece of art work is unique. Some students even added ornaments to make it look like a Christmas tree. Please come and take a look at this bulletin outside our classroom.

Jellyfish with our Big Buddies
Inspired by the origami jellyfish we saw at the Vancouver Aquarium, created by a local artist, we decided to create our own jellyfish. Thanks to our grade 4/5 big buddies from Mr. Boulanger’s class, as well as Ms. Mitchell, for helping us with this fun craft!

The kindergarten students had many unique questions about jellyfish! We learned that jellyfish or jellies live in all the oceans. A jellyfish is an invertebrate made mostly of water. It has no heart, brain or bones. But it does have millions of stinging cells in their tentacles. When the tentacles capture food, toxin is injected into the prey. A jellyfish can sting you!
Poppies
Some students painted some very pretty poppies to display at our Remembrance Day assembly this Thursday.
