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

Modules week 3 - Cooking

"We are cooking with Mrs Swanson. We made jam and cake and rice bubble cake and chocolate crackles," said Alec, Eli and Tayla.

"We mixed the icing sugar and the cocoa together and then we put hot water in", remarked Ruben.

Ashley said "We spreaded icing on top of the cake and then we sprinkled sprinkles on top."

"Mrs Robinson cut the finished cake in half, then cut the 2 halves in half, then cut those into 3," said Emma.

Making the jam...

"We had to mush up the strawberries. We add this natural stuff and sugar," said Callum.

Tayla said that the natural stuff is jam setting mix.

"Mrs Swanson poured the jam into the jars," said Chiara.

"After Mrs Swanson had poured the strawberry jam into the glass containers, they were really hot," commented Haylee.
