Clay Creations

 For Pet day we made clay creations, I know that you need to scorch the clay to make it stick together and you need to keep the clay moist so it doesn't dry out and crack.  

I made a turtle and in term 1 we all made a pig at Fern Flat. It takes 1-2 weeks to dry before you fire it in the kiln.  By Ava

Yesterday I made a clay turtle. The clay felt so weird, and I didn't like the feeling, it was so wet and squishy and also kind of cold and nice.  I got a chunk of clay to make a turtle and it had to be thick. 

For Pet day we made a clay animal, I made a penguin.  I loved my penguin.  By Georgia

Today I made a squid from clay.   By Xavier

I made a turtle on a paradise island, I had fun making it.  What you need is clay, water, a kiln and some other stuff.  You have to rub it to make the cracks all smooth.  In 2 weeks you need to fire it in the kiln.  By Colin

I made a seahorse with a baby girl.  So you will need:  Water, Tools and Clay. 

You need to take your time and roll the animal in the shape you want it to be in.  You need to dry it for 1-2 weeks then you need to put it in the kiln.  A kiln is like a very hot oven.  By Leah

Holes

This term we read the book Holes by Louis Sachar. 

When we finally finished reading we watched the movie...

Bella's favourite part was when the Warden scratched Mr Sir on the face with the venom nail polish.

Cory's favourite part was when Mr Sir threw a kid into the barrels because he asked how his face got those marks.

Waikeri's favourite part was when Stanley stole the water truck and drove it straight into one of the holes.

Daetyn's favourite part was at the end when it finally started to rain and all the kids were celebrating.

Georgie loved it when Stanley and Zero jumped straight out of the hole with the treasure and did not get attacked by the yellow spotted lizards.

Ella came dressed up as THE WARDEN
