Beach Art
Sometimes there are issues that mean it’s best not to be at school.
This morning there was a big event using our parking lot which meant
there would be no parking for our families so we spent the morning
at the beach.
We spent some time creating Beach Art.
I started it by drawing a mermaid in the sand.
As the families arrived they helped finish the mermaid.
And dress her.
But then they began their own pieces of art.
A sail boat riding on the waves
became a pirate ship by the end of the morning.
A very bright sunshine.
A crab with really long legs,
Simple designs in the sand and
sand castles.
“Mermaid Dreams” by Mark Sperring was great to read after finishing
our mermaid. She had shells and green hair just like our mermaid.
We were happy to leave our art behind for others to discover
as they walk the beach.
We’ll be visiting a different beach next Tuesday because our
school will be busy as a voting station for the election.
I think we'll go crabbing.
