Eric Carle discusses The Artist Who Painted A Blue Horse

Today we did Poppy Art inspired by Eric Carle(Brown bear, Brown bear, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, The Artist Who Painted a Blue Horse) Check out this video to see him creating
some art and talking about how we use our imagination to create beautiful art!

We also used real badminton rackets and "birdies" in gym - grade ones on one side, grade twos on the other side. Wow! We made the birdies go so high - and over the net! I think all the practice with the "puff balls" helped.

We played "Race to 100" if we finished our Poppy Art before lunch. Ask me how to play if you don't know.

If we were finished our "interesting facts" for our arthropod, some of us got to watch some videos on the ipad about our bug!

For Music, we also made Poppies with Mr. O to get ready for the assembly. Ask me how I made these poppies.

At the end of Music, we all went to Room 6 and surprised Mr. Pedenko by singing Happy Birthday! It seemed very exciting for him:)

TOMORROW IS LIBRARY DAY.

NEXT THURSDAY IS FUN LUNCH DAY - order by this Friday if you would like Mucho Burrito.

Thanks for sending in FOOD for the food bank box and if you would like to contribute to the Poppy Fund - any change you might have lying around the house.

Here are some of our In Flanders Fields poems we copied out and decorated.
