Containers for Art Project Friday

Dear Parents, 

We will be starting a large Art project this Friday. For this craft, we are requesting that each student brings a small-sized (approximately 450g) Becel margarine container or equivalent to school. Extras would be appreciated! (Please note the 250g containters are too small.) We are also looking for black newspaper as well as the coloured advertisements and inserts. Thanks you in advance for your help!

Regards,
John da Costa
