To start
the new school year off right, Grade 1/2 will be learning about manners,
showing respect, friendship and bullying through a Unit of Inquiry (UOI) titled
Working It Out Together. This week we focused on the importance of
friendship and the qualities of a good friend.
To acknowledge that Grade 1/2 is composed of individuals that come
together to create a group of friends/peers that learn and play together, the
class created a Friendship Collage.
Everyone was given their own piece of paper and asked to create a piece
of art that reflected their unique likes and dislikes, color preferences,
etc. Afterwards they decided as a group
on how to fit each individual artwork together to create a single cohesive piece
of art and the final result was beautiful. This was also a Visual Art focused lesson
that allowed Grade1/2 to experiment with various materials, mediums and
techniques. “Splatter” painting was
definitely a class favorite.
Please feel
free to drop by the Grade 1/2 classroom and view the class Friendship Collage.
Kind regards,
