class 1C make a banksia tree - day 5 june 11-

Our workshop with 1C was to make a banksia for the mural. The students experimented with ways of making the flower branches and leaves out of clay. One of our parent helpers, Carmel, was very busy squeezing clay through a garlic press to make the banksia flower petals. Later the grade 4 students from 4NK added some more leaves to our banksia too. Take a look at our efforts!

About the Noah's Ark Mural The Noah's Ark Mural at Overnewton Anglican Community College is a ceramic mural that is being made by the artist Debbie Qadri with students at the Keilor Campus. All of the children from the Junior school as well as year 5's and some of the year 8's will be making a ceramic artwork to go into the mural. The mural design is a Noah’s Ark scene with the animals coming out of the Ark but set in the Keilor Valley. All of the animals in the scene will be native animals of Victoria.
