It was a perfect morning to read “Picture the Sky” by Barbra Reid during our outdoor learning! The Wolves enjoyed working together to create their own “sky” using pastels and clay. #ocsbOutdoors #ocsbEco #ocsbArts #TakeMeOutside @BernadetteOCSB ☁️🌤️☁️

Inspired by Barbara Reid, K1 & K2 used plasticine to create art pieces incorporating insects & flowers.🐞🌸 They also explored with colour mixing & special tools to make their pieces come to life.🎨 @StMonicaOCSB #ocsbSTEAM #ocsbSTEAMWeek #ocsbKinder @barbreidart @LauraAnnP2
