Pop Art Portraits

The children made these pop art style portraits using PhotoShop. You can view the excellent tutorial we used from Blue Lightening TV.

Foam Sensory Play

Shaving foam sensory fun is usually reserved for toddlers, however, looking at the kids faces, you can see they are not too old yet to enjoy it!

Pop Art

We have just been to see the Pop art exhibition at the Art Gallery of NSW.

Back at home the children made these pop art pieces. The comic book style portraits lesson is from Art Projects For Kids, and you can download the dot template from that site. We used acrylics, markers and coloured pencils.

The children used PhotoShop to design their own versions of the famous Campbell's soup cans painting (which can be seen in the exhibition).

Southern Highlands And Coast Camping

We've just spent a few days camping. First we visited Shell Harbour on the NSW South Coast. We picked our camp-site for it's proximity to Jamberoo Action Park where we spent the day on the water slides and rides. Our camp was also on a great beach where the children practised their body-boarding skills.

We spent some time searching for shells and rock-pooling on the beaches.

For the second part of the trip we moved camp to the lovely and free Bendeela Recreation Area. The camp-site is right next to a great river for swimming in and also close to Tallowa Dam where you can swim in the lake and also see the fish lift which carries fish over the dam so they can migrate upstream.

The camping area is also not far from Fitzroy Falls.

Bendeela has a huge wombat population who wander the camp-site in the evening. We were most amused when they filled Dad's shoes with wombat poo!

We added our favourite photos from January to their diaries. We then embellished them with tapes, ribbons, stickers and flowers.
