Spring Art with Miss Brunton

First we had to design our background- Callum
We put a sun, clouds, grass, hills, rivers and blue sky on our background- Eden
We ripped up pieces of magazine paper to put on our background- Dominic

We used green for the grass and hills. We used white or blue for the river, blue for the sky and yellow for the sun- Tuawhio
We put lots of glue on our picture to hold the small pieces of paper down- Ashton
We had to make sure that the pieces of paper fit on our background, and we kept to the lines that we drew- Alec

After we had finished our background, we drew a daffodil on a piece of paper -Haylee
Next, we traced over our drawing with a marker onto see through plastic- Emma

We painted the daffodil- Sarah
We put it in the sun to dry- Jessica
We stapled our daffodils onto our backgrounds- Kieren
It was fun!- Tayla
It looked superb- Campbell

Modules - Bridge making in Room 4

In Room 4 we had some really complicated things like building towers out of straws. (Eden)

We had to make a bridge out of newspaper. (Callum)

We had to make triangles because it is the strongest shape! (Rachel)

The bridge had to have a tractor go over it. (Gabrielle)

We had to make it so the tractor wouldn't sink in the middle. (Tuawhio)

In our group some people were building triangles, some people were rolling up paper and then folding the paper and putting it on the side and cello taping it so the tractor wouldn't fall off. It was complicated. (Tayla)

I learnt that when the triangles are smaller, the stronger the bridge is. (Alec)

My group had to build a tower and balance a ball on it so it couldn't fall off. (Emma)

When we were making the tower Mrs Papworth said we could join up as a group. Tayla's group joined up to our group and we built a tower and balanced a ball, and it worked. And we were the first one finished. (Ruben)

I found out that there is always a way to build an object. (Joshua)

Thank you Mrs Papworth for teaching us how to build structures.
