Burlington Art Centre trip, Butterflies fly away, Summer Reading

Burlington Art Centre Trip
Our trip to the Art Centre was a great success. We toured the facility and looked at the exhibitions and the gardens with sculptures. Some of us visited the pottery studio first and began shaping our clay into butterflies. 




Later we visited the weaving studio and made bracelets on these looms. They were so organized and all set up for us. 
Here is a video of how our looms worked. What a great idea!
(I would highly recommend this trip to any local elementary teachers out there who are reading this)


Butterfly Release
Our real 'Painted Lady' butterflies left us one sunny day. It was a lovely release. The butterflies stayed in the meadow and even landed on the children. I was able to get some great pictures! 


              This shot of the butterfly entering the JAWS shirt! Yikes! 



Summer Reading
Mr Cann our wonderful librarian posted a great link for summer reading ideas! Here is the link:

Have a wonderful summer holiday! This class has been a very special group and it has been a privilege to get to know all these little beings. As for my summer,  I am looking forward to hanging out with friends, working in my garden, creating art, trying new recipes, travel and watching the hummingbirds. Ok, maybe a rock concert or two as well, I'm not that boring :)
