Holiday Moment Trioramas

Holiday writing again you say?  Yep but with a different creative twist.  We got to create a scene depicting the special moment to go with our writing.  Here are a few funky examples - they were simple to make, and we think they look pretty cool.

Where do we come from? A few family stories...

Making our own Hacky Sacks

Last week our student teachers Miss Smith and Miss Singh helped us to make our own Hacky Sacks using just balloons and rice.  You would think that we would make a big mess, as we sometimes do, but the plastic bottles acted as a funnel - so not much mess made at all!

Watch this space for some examples of our instructional writing.  You'll be able to follow our carefully written instructions word for word, and make your own Hacky Sacks to perfection - well that's the plan!

The Catapult by Daniel and Aidan

Daniel and Aidan have put together a poster on the Catapult they built along with two boys from Room 23 and with Mr Cavanah's expertise and know-how.  We're thinking it might be great for launching water balloons for our end of year "let go" celebrations!

A video is in the making and will be posted soon, but in the meantime here are a few poems about the expo for your reading - Samantha and Olivia are sharing.
