The OOPS artists have been enjoying their weekly art lessons! We have a new Portrait Selfie Frame addition to the Art Room this year - Edvard Munch's 'The Scream'.  Be sure to pop in with your family after school sometime to show them what you have been working on in the Art Room, say hello to Jacinta and and get your funny photo taken in The Scream or the Mona Lisa!

The Year 1 students are super cleaners - so organised (thanks boys and girls!) ...
