Friday September 13th


Art/Literacy
Yesterday we learned about the artist Roy Lichtenstein  and discussed his Pop Art style. The students worked on creating a self-portrait from a photo and incorporated some aspects of this style. They continued with the dots and solids using three colours only to put their personal flavour into their own work. HOMEWORK -students need to come with a meaningful quote to go with their artwork on Monday. This quote should have a deep message, be personal to them and inspire/encourage themselves and others. 

Science:
Yesterday was our first field study down by the pond. Students made observations of living and non-living things, sketched a variety of leaves and trees and identified several different deciduous and coniferous trees. HOMEWORK - students are asked to research the name of a specific grove of trees growing by the pond and come with answers for Monday.
