We are putting together our first field trip. It looks like it will be on Tuesday morning and will involve a visit to David Holliday's Art studio, an sketching exercise near the Palace and a sensory writing task.
More information will be passed on when we have booked the buses and confirmed the details.

February 25th, 2015 Grade 4 Field Trip Permission Slip.
Dear Parents/Guardians of Grade 4 Students,
We have just started our fifth unit of inquiry - an inquiry into the ways we discover and express ideas, feelings, nature, culture, beliefs and values; the ways in which we reflect on, extend and enjoy our creativity; our appreciation of aesthetics. Our central idea is ‘Artistic expression is influenced by the society in which it exists’.
During the next seven weeks the students will be learning about how artists express themselves,
the relationship between artists and society and will be formulating their own opinions and response to various art forms.
During this unit we will be observing various forms of art in Phnom Penh. We will be:
- Visiting the studio of Artist David Holliday
- Visiting the studio of Dina Chhan
- Watching excerpts from Marty Sharples feature film
- Visiting photographic and art exhibitions in Phnom Penh
- Visiting the Grade 12 Diploma art exhibition at the Secondary campus
- Taking photographs, sketching and writing in the gardens by the Royal Palace, sitting by Naga Pier, and near the market
We will inform you of the dates and times of each of these visits via our blogs and by email at the start of each week.
We will also invite guest speakers and artists to the school to speak to the students about their work and run mini workshops, teaching the students new skills.
These are all experiences that are valuable in helping your child to understand how artists feel about their work, what influences artists, how society responds to their work, and their own personal responses to the art.
Please complete the permission slip and ask your child to return it to the class teacher by Friday 27th February, 2015.
Thank you,
Grade 4 Team
