Using examples of simple machines as the driving force in this unit, students explored ideas of a lever, pulley, inclined plane, wheel and axel, screw and wedge in their designs, in making experimental drawings before using construction as the vehicle for expression.
Students identified a significant place at school where they have a personal connection, which reflects part of their personality and helps to form their identity. Elements of painting, drawing and symbolism were applied to enhance students’ ideas of belonging.
Students explored the story of “The Very Hungry Caterpillar” by Eric Carle which inspired artworks of small critters that are currently being woven into a story which is set in the grounds of MBBC. This is a fitting tribute to Eric Carle who passed away this year, leaving a valuable legacy as renowned artist and storyteller.
