Grade 5 Art Exhibition

Grade 5’s current unit of inquiry falls under the transdisciplinary theme of ‘Sharing the Planet’.  In this unit, students are learning about the causes and effects of global conflicts on people and the environment. Students watched an animated Japanese movie “The Grave of the Fireflies” that tells the story of two siblings and war orphans, and their desperate struggle to survive during the final months of the Second World War. After watching the movie, students reflected by creating a series of paintings under the title ‘War and Children’. Through their paintings, they expressed how global conflicts affect our planet, especially children. They were reflective and caring. Students’ paintings were exhibited in the hall for all school community members.
