Our principal, Claire Snyders, has been very busy this term working with the St Charles grade four and five boys. They have been preparing for their 'Art Blast' festival which is based on a fantasy theme.
 
The grade five boys will be showcasing two pieces .They were given an object which they had to use to represent another object and it's use, other than the original object. The boys were given a chance to be creative and there were a lot of great ideas in each group which were put together to create the pieces.
 
The first grade 5 class, were given a balloon as their object. Some boys saw the balloons as the pumpkins used during Halloween, others saw the balloon as a rugby ball, another group saw the balloons as the wheels on a car, and the last group saw the balloons as the different planets. 

The second grade 5 class were given a broom as their object to interpret. One group saw the broom as a witches flying broomstick, another group saw it as a wizards wand, another group changed the broom into a cricket bat,  another changed it into warrior spears and guns, and the last group saw the broom as a microphone and guitar.

The grade four boys will be performing a poem entitled 'The Cleaning Machine'. Take a look at some of their "cleaning machines" they created using their bodies and voices.
