Joan Miró Week!

During the last week of the second term, Grade 4P and Grade 4L teamed up and moved down to the hall for one of our most exciting weeks this year! We spent an entire week studying the Spanish artist Joan Miró. We watched videos, slideshows, read books, shared information, painted, sketched, made sculptures from waste material, made sculptures from our bodies and much more.
We ended the week with an amazing Art Exhibition where we invited out parents to come and view our week's work.
