GREEN GECKO PROJECT : Kim Suan's Story

Our Social Inquiry topic this term is about Child Labour. We will be learning that children all around the world have to do different amounts and kinds of work for many different reasons.
Many children have to work full time to help their families and miss out on education and learning but there are ways to increase their options and break the child labour cycle.

To make a difference and get involved, we will be having an art auction in Week 6 to raise money for The Green Gecko Project in Cambodia. http://www.greengeckoproject.org/

Planet Painting for the Wearable Arts Show

Over the last week, Room 10 have helped out the Senior students by creating and painting props to hang up on the stage and runway at the World of Wearablearts (WOW) Show happening this week.   The kids got to research the planets and paint cooperatively using their learnt painting techniques.

The Show is set in 2100 with Astronauts looking back at an EXHAUSTED EARTH.  The Astronauts are sent on a mission through time to find what needs to be done to save planet Earth from misuse and pollution.

Check them out, and come and see the show - it's amazing.
