Our school hosted their annual art exhibition in January. The focus was 50 years in recognition of the school’s birthday celebrations this year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As part of the development process for our art installation, Class 3\u00a0 spent time learning about what was life 50 years ago when St. Albert\u2019s first opened including…<\/span><\/p>\n

…what music people were listening and dancing to.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

(We chose our favourite songs that came out in the early 1970s!)<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

…the books children were reading. We shared The Giant Jam Sandwich, a popular children’s story published in 1972.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

…the food people were eating. We made the 1970’s children’s party classic: The Hedgehog!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

This became the inspiration for our artwork!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

We used cheese and fruit snacks popular with children today to create a modern take on ‘The Hedgehog’.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

When we opened the snacks, we realised there was a lot of rubbish. MUCH more than when we made the original hedgehog snacks. This was because of all the packaging.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

When we sorted through the packaging, it was mostly made of plastic which cannot be recycled…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Unlike the original hedgehogs.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

We learned plastic packaging often ends up in our environment. Almost all of the litter in the playground was plastic packaging!<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\" \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

Plastic is our environment\u00a0 is not good for animals. They often it it or get trapped…and they might die.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Our artwork highlighted the over-packaging of food sold in our supermarkets, especially snacks aimed at children.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\" \u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

Here we are talking to the judges about our artwork!<\/p>\n
