Thanks the lord that Friday rolls around!

After a way too hectic day on Thursday, and a terrible night last night, (I set my alarm for 5:05am instead of 6:05am???? Yea, I know I think my brain was mushed last night) I have gotten my head around the Curriculum documents and that I have to say makes me happy, in fact that was why there was no post yesterday. I spent the evening after work strapped to the laptop here updating the curriculum. In between writing reports and redoing the whole Art curriculum I have many hours of solitary work plugging away at the keyboard. Oh the JOY of being a teacher? But there is good news, I have lots to share and even year 1 glory as promised....

These are my very skillful Year 5 students. We looked at cartoon drawing. At the start....

Cartoon drawing with colour.

Another at the beginning stages...

The finished coloured product... Not bad, don't you think?"Three Headed Monster"

A lovely RED post to conclude on. This masterpiece was created by an awesome Year 1 student. Today we read the picture storybook "Og and Blots Monster Party". Very cute book, the monsters are amazing. The students had to design their own monster who would attend Og and Blots monster party. This was one such monster, stay tuned as I intend to post the rest tomorrow. After designing the monster, they had to cut it out and next week I am going to put them up all together on the window so they can come to the party.......They are just fabulous!!! Maybe this is what I have morphed into after all the stress of the week, hmmm, curriculum and report writing, thank the lord it is Friday and that means one thing- the weekend and no more yard duties!!!!
