Each year our Grade 6 students make a group mosaic in Art Classes which, after presentation to our School Principal at Grade 6 Graduation, is later displayed in our school courtyard. Last year we made a larger mosaic than our usual 60 x 60cms because we felt a dragon needed extra length, as will the Year of the Snake one to be made late this year. The water dragon design was by Caitlyn from 6JS who has enjoyed drawing dragons since she was small. Our Congratulations go to Caitlyn and we look forward to seeing some interesting snake designs for this year’s mosaic.
