Hello to all my Grade 3/4/5/6/E students from Cambridge Primary School and whoever else might be reading this post.
I can’t believe it is Week 10 of Term 2 2020 already or that we are all back to school together again! HOORAY! to us all, as we all survived more than 8 weeks of remote learning and teaching at Cambridge Primary School
in Hoppers Crossing, Victoria, Australia.
While COVID19 is still active in Victoria, and according to the Department of Education and Training guidelines, Cambridge Primary School is trying to limit the amount of items that we SHARE at school. This includes while working in the Art Room.
So, please bring your PENCIL CASE, your IPAD and HEADPHONES to each Visual Arts session for the rest of this term!
Also, EVERYONE, and I mean EVERYONE, is feeling a little STRESSEDand ANXIOUSabout being back at school, all together, after such a long time away. It is totally NORMAL to feel this way.
So let’s all promise to BE EXTRA KIND TO EACH OTHER as we work together at school over the last weeks of term 2.

Hello to all my Grade 3/4/5/6/E students from Cambridge Primary School and whoever else might be reading this post.
I can’t believe it is Week 8 of remote learning already!
We are going to be doing a bit of Visual Arts learning around the topic of the WORLDWIDE HEXAGON PROJECT!
The WORLDWIDE HEXAGON PROJECT
is an art project that started in Scranton, Pennsylvania, U.S.A. in 2006 when some secondary school Visual Arts teachers got together over a coffee.
Those teachers wanted to come up with an idea that all their students could work on together and thus the Hexagon Project was born.
Now thousands of students from all over the world participate in this annual project.
Cambridge Primary School participates in the WORLDWIDE HEXAGON PROJECT every second year and has done since 2012.
The WORLDWIDE HEXAGON PROJECT reflects on how we are all INTERDEPENDENT.
Most students easily understand the meaning of independence.
You start off as a baby not being able to do much and eventually learn to feed yourself and dress yourself as you learn and grow.
Once you start school you are developing as a child and a student and increasingly doing all sorts of things by yourself.
Being INTERDEPENDENT is how we all DEPEND ON EACH OTHER in different ways.
We are all –
local citizens (family, Cambridge PS, neighbourhood, Hoppers Crossing)
connected to and INTERDEPENDENT on each other for so many things and in so many ways!
How are you connected to others by your INTERDEPENDENCE???
Here are 2 short videos for you to watch about INTERDEPENDENCE.
It is very clear that we all have a much greater understanding of our INTERDEPENDENCE in 2020 after being locked down at home in isolation for many weeks and having time to think about how much we rely on each other!
The WORLDWIDE HEXAGON PROJECT for students from aged 4-18+ uses the shape of a hexagon as a way for students to reflect on their INTERDEPENDENCE in an artwork.
I want you to create an artwork, using whatever materials you like, in the shape of a hexagon, reflecting your understanding of INTERDEPENDENCE.
When your artwork is complete I want you to photograph your hexagonal artwork with your device and send it to me by Saturday 6th June 2020.
I will then mark that you have completed a hexagon shaped artwork onto Compass and this will become part of your Semester 1 report for 2020.
The hexagon template for your artwork is available here. You are encouraged to print this hexagon and trace it to use as a template so all hexagons are the same size.
I will then print up the photos of all your hexagon shaped artworks and display them at Cambridge PS.
If YOU want your artwork to be part of the WORLDWIDE HEXAGON PROJECT for 2020 you need to upload the photo of your artwork onto ARTSONIA. This is your choice. If you do not want to participate in the WORLDWIDE HEXAGON PROJECT you do not have to.
