15th MAY: FAMILY DAY

Last Sunday, 15th May it was Family Day.
As every year, we made a little something for our families. We worked hard! Below are some photos if you'd like to see.
Third graders worked with play-dough to make a set of coasters fro their families. They made some Miró-inspired ones and some marbled ones.







Fourth graders experimented with paper-maché and created a bowl/tray for their families (to put the keys, some chocolates, ...)



 And last, but not least! Fifth graders made a set of hanging photo frames for their families.
