What??????
Our Arts Celebration is a highlight of the year, a time where many of our students shine in their own unique ways. We are pulling together many threads for this year's event, our study of the city and what makes a good one, poetry; exploring deep feelings and ideas in quite off beat ways and, thinking about the future. It's very broad. While much of the it is still 'in progress' we are very excited about the body of work emerging.
Poetry books with incredible titles, introducing these wonderfully personal reflections on the lives of eight, nine and ten year olds. Some examples below.
Over the term we have been talking about the Character Strength of Creativity, that it's not confined to The Arts but is present in Maths and Science, day to day problem solving and even in how we relate to each other, including using humour. Flexibility, and fluency of thinking are two of the elements but the one we can perhaps most celebrate is originality. The paintings, collages, sculpture and poetry have this in bucket loads.
We are looking forward to hosting you all next week to celebrate our kids and their remarkable creative endeavours.
