Making Minion Mats

We made Minion Mats. In the olden days they made floor rugs. It was a challenging activity tying all those knots using strips of cotton material with Minion characters on them. We tied them onto garden matting. Well done Room 24 for persevering until the job was done!

Diwali

Diwali began with Mrs Dijkstra reading us a story and then Mrs Nagpal called us up to add coloured rice to the Rangoli design sketched on the table. When finished it looked amazing with the Diva light resting in the middle.
Meanwhile Miss Uden worked with groups of children using DAS modelling clay to make a Diva lamp. They are drying and we will paint them tomorrow.
We also coloured Rangoli patterns and mounted them on contrasting coloured card.
It was a special and different day and we really appreciated Mrs Nagpal visiting our room to help us experience Diwali.

During Arts week room 24 looked at Eric Carle as an author and illustrator. We read many of his books and visited his website to view his painting techniques. We then used a variety of objects to paint with to create interesting and textured effects. Next we used the paper to design a sun and something special that will be displayed in the hall next week.

Enviro Week Part 2

                                                             Caleb, Ayyan, Drake

We used paint splatter to cover our letter.

As part of Enviro week we each made a Pom Pom with the help of Mrs McGowan. This will eventually decorate a tree on Tree Island, as we are YARN BOMBING.

Each class was given a letter to paint, we covered ours with Paint Splatter. We thought it looked cool!
It will eventually go on a fence and spell out a school wide message. Watch this space over the next few weeks!
