Paper Mache Birds

For the upcoming 'Heart the Art' Tuatara Rock has begun making their Paper Mache Birds inspired by art from Barbara Kobylinksa. We began by filling our bottles with sand so that they won't tip over. We then formed the neck and began our paper mache. PERSISTENCE has been the key word for making something with paper mache!

Mrs Innes kept on saying "another layer". Once our necks were strong enough we added the heads, beaks and crests. Keep watching for updated photos because we still haven't finished.

Glowworms and their Seagulls

This term the Glowworms reading group read a journal story about some children learning to sew Seagulls. The boys followed the instructions and have hand stitched their own Seagull wall hangings.

From drawing a design and pattern, cutting out the pattern and then the pieces of material to hand stitching each piece. Have a look at these nearly completed seagulls. Aren't they amazing! I am very proud of their persistence and you can see the care they put in. They really stretched their brains as they learnt a new skill. 

Elgrego the Magician

A few weeks ago Elgrego the Magician came to school to do a show. It was very exciting with lots of fun magic tricks and funny characters. We learnt that we need to be HERO's and stand up to bullying.
