Hello and welcome boys and girls!  by now you’ve probably heard the exciting news from your S.R.C Representative about the new community project  we’re about to embark on.  We’re going to be looking at bringing a little joy and happiness in everyone’s lives by introducing this new concept called SPOONVILLE!  Spoonville requires everyone to get involved by purchasing and using a wooden spoon and then decorating it as you please to create a character.  I have lots of different examples for you below.  I also encourage each student to think about and write a word of encouragement to give hope and strength to others during this time, for example, strength, hope, joy, courage on the back of the wooden spoon. Have a look at the examples below enjoy and above all GET CREATING!

Week 8 Father’s Day Video

This weekend is Father’s Day so we thought we’d create something really special and memorable to commemorate the fathers, grandfathers and special person in our lives.

Students were involved in making a trophy for the special man in their lives.  The clip below shows children involved in putting together their trophy creations.  Please have a look, and if you like, you can create one similar for your dad.

The equipment needed for the task are;  two plastic or foam cups, masking tape to tape up both the cups together.  Lots of decorative pieces to decorate your trophy. 

Optional Visual Art Activity for Week 9

SKETCH ARTIST DRAWING GAME

Try this sketch art game, it’s so much fun!  Make sure you listen carefully to instructions though! I wonder what your sketch will eventually look like?

Detective/Police Sketch Game/Witness

Supplies you’ll need:

  • pencils 
  • erasers
  • paper for sketching
  • printed photos of “suspects”
  • construction paper or card stock paper
  • tape or stapler
  • envelopes

In the game, one person is the witness to a crime and the other person is a police sketch artist. The witness opens an envelope, and without showing the sketch artist, takes the picture of the “suspect” out of the envelope. The witness must describe the person/suspect with as much detail as possible. The sketch artist draws the suspect as best they can from the description.

Then it’s time for the best part: the big reveal! When the witness reveals the photograph to the sketch artist there’s always laughter and comments like, “Oh, that’s what you were talking about!” Of course, it’s not easy to draw someone from a verbal description, so it’s always a fun surprise to see the finished sketch.

The link Below shows how to play the sketch art game…..It’s so much FUN! Make sure you listen carefully to the instructions given in order to complete the game properly!
