Year of the Ox

Our school has a tradition of making a mosaic for each year of the Chinese Calendar. Students have asked which is their animal.These may be found at http://www.activityvillage.co.uk/chinese_new_year.htm

This year we are adding to our Mosaic collection with a mosiac of an Ox. Sketched by Grade 6 student BJ or Beaujess the Ox  is well underway. Students take a break from their own mosaic work and place a few tiles making it a group piece to be presented to the school Principal at Graduation on December 17th 2009.

 

17th July 2008.We heard the sad news today that Munchkin died a few weeks ago. We were fortunate to meet, admire and draw her earlier this year. Later in the year we will make a rat mosaic and dedicate it to her memory. RIP Munchkin.
