Piñata Surprise Celebration

Over the past week Classes 3 & 9 have worked with the Art Department on a special top-secret project;  together, we created a celebration Piñata to be enjoyed by the whole school.
What is a Piñata?
A Piñata is a container, most often made of papier-mâché, pottery, or cloth, that is decorated, filled with candy, and then broken as part of a celebration. They are most traditionally used in Mexico especially during birthday celebrations.
We decided to dedicate our Piñata to our dear former Kunstlehrer Mr Wayman on his birthday (22nd September) and send him a video of our celebrations.
The students were so excited to gather and break apart our creation and enjoy the candy stored inside. Luckily the Piñata was pretty sturdy and we can now repair it and put it on display in Haus B for us all to enjoy and remember our celebration.’
