Watercolours

Hello artists of 4th Grade!

This month, as you know, we are painting with watercolours. It's great fun, relaxing and we are producing fantastic pieces of work.
First, we coloured a landscape, in order to get used to this technique. We saw that it is very suitable for painting the water and the sky.
Then, we drew an exotic parrot (step by step) and we painted it with bright colours.
And finally, we drew a sailing ship, also following steps.

Have a look at our pictures:


THE FONIX


The Fonix is an English contest in Catalonia. All the schools can participate. We are happy to announce Les Roquetes school is going to participate.

If you are in 5th or 6th grade you can join the list of participants (it's on the English class' door).

The first exam will be in the school and the winners will go to the next exam in Barcelona with the winners of all schools. It's going to be exciting!
