Papier Mache Sea Creatures

This term, 3/4A and 3/4B have started a papier mach'e of a sea creature. In the first week we have collected 2L milk bottles and 1.25L bottles.

Once there were enough bottles and a few spares, we started choosing what sea creature we wanted to make. The choices were a whale, a shark, a dolphin and a fish. The dolphin was the most popular but I chose the shark.

Once we chose the animal we wanted to make, we traced and cut it out our dorsal and pectoral fin and our tail for our animal. We stuffed it with newspaper then we stuck it on our bottle with masking tape. Koetsu and I had an idea of making another template so we would have hammerhead sharks.

Circus Skills

Three weeks ago everybody who wanted to participate started Circus Skills. My class has Circus skill lesson on Monday at 12.15pm until lunch time at 1.00pm. Our teacher is called Az but mostly every grade has a different teacher. Each week we have three different types of equipment to learn new skills. Sometimes at the end lessons if there is time or if it's planned, we do basic balances. I belive that my favourite and most enjoyable equipment would be the diablos. Some of my friends belive that too. The way to do the balance is quite difficult. You find a partner and one person on the ground makes a shape a bit like a bridge and the other does the same on top. After every week I look forward to the next three types of equipment.

A Great Student

A few days ago, our class did an alphabet list. What we all had to do was for each letter we had to make a good word that a good student will do. Our class made a big poster of an alphabet. A few of the best ones were independent for I, Encourages Others for E and Team Work for T.
