Kaya Well, we are getting close to the end of the year so there are some projects that are coming to fruition.  One of those is the Junior Archie project that the Year 6's have been working on after learning a little about the Archibald Prize portrait competition.   The students have worked on a number of techniques to assist with drawing facial features and have had a number of lessons in class to plan, draft and commence their final portrait.  On Onenote, students have access to the videos we watched to practice these techniques and the rubric that will be used to assess the final piece.  Students have been advised that they will have this weekend and next to complete this final portrait.  Can you please support your child to have this portrait completed and submitted by Wednesday 15 November. Thanks for your ongoing support Mr Mc
