Our Bowls

Over the last two weeks Room 12 have been busy making paper mache bowls.  Have a look!

Beginning to paste newspaper onto our balloons - fun!

Room 12 we fabulous at making sure each piece of paper was smoothly pasted on - icky fingers!

After three sessions of adding layers of paper to our balloons they were ready to cut.
Some of us thought we were making hats!

Painting the outside of our bowls.

Thanks Oliver for giving us some Forestry and Bird magazines to look through.
We found some pictures to stick onto our bowls.

Kian and Makylah enjoyed decorating their bowls with flowers and birds.

Some more decorating.

Don't they look fabulous!


Over the holidays Mrs Brook is going to varnish each bowl.

We've also been learning to say our address this week!
I think by tomorrow everyone in Room 12 will be able to say their address.
This week we've also been using our imaginations to write 'fiction' stories.  Here are a few from today.

Oliver wrote a 6 sentence story!
When I woke up in the morning I was in a batman suit.  I was funny.  I loved the batman suit. I couldn't believe it in the morning.  Toby and Dad laughed at me.  I laughed too.

Tahlia has been working really hard on writing neatly with finger spaces!
I woke up in the morning.  I was a pirate!

Eita wrote a long story today!
My house is a tree.  A dragon is coming to my house.  He blew fire on my house.
