Junior Archie Project

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

  K AY A, Can you believe that it is only  5  sleeps until we depart for Year 6 camp??? The students are going to have the most amazing time; we will be taking part in activities like wall climbing, zip-lining, abseiling and team games as well as lots of fun group activities.  Please remember we will depart OLC at 8.40 on Monday morning. Your student will need to arrive around 8.15am and place their bags for camp outside the hall in front of the double doors. They will then make their way to the classroom for the class role. Students will need to ensure they have used the bathroom as the bus is a two hour drive. They will also need to take out any medical items from their bag and provide this to the teacher in a clear zip lock bag with their name on it.  We hope the students have started to prepare their bags for camp using the camp what to bring list below.
