The Larva Have Arrived!!

They arrived in one container with enough food to keep them going until we got them.

Each student had the opportunity to place one caterpillar into its own container.  These containers were first lined with their own food supply and will allow the larva their own space for growth.  Students used the paint brushes to move the larva in order to keep the larva clean and safely moved.

Most of the individual containers were placed into a secure larger container.  As we received so many larva (30), some will be staying in the white basket.

We will be watching their growth closely. Students are quite enamoured by the caterpillars 💕


We will be keeping you posted.

Abstract Faces – in the style of Pablo Picasso

We looked at some art pieces by Picasso.  We read a story book about him called, “Pablo Picasso and the Girl With the Ponytail” by Laurence Anholt.



We then created our own ‘abstract’ faces on tag board with black Sharpies.  We worked through the sections together as a directed drawing lesson. We incorporated eyes, eyebrows, noses, mouths, cheeks, necks, jawlines, hair, and head dresses.



Students then added ‘embellishments’ such as waves, squiggles, squares, dots, or their own inventions.  We will be colouring these, a section at a time, over the course of next week.  Students have really been enjoying this project.  I can’t wait to show you all their finished results.
