Our Dream Home

Last week we borrowed Miss Powell's You Choose book, by Nick Sharratt. One page asked us "Which home would you choose? and it had lots of pictures of different kinds of homes. 
We sketched our ideal home in our provocation books and on Wednesday the AMAZING Sonya Beckley came in and helped us bring our sketches to life with clay! 

These look fantastic! Our visitors on Wednesday we certainly impressed! 

This is the third time we have used clay this year so we really wanted to think about how we could make our creation without it breaking when it dried. We used solid chunks of clay and even reinforced some bits with popsicle sticks inside. 

Come into Room 4 and check them out! They are proudly displayed on the round table by the door.

Our Favourite Toys!

Last week we saw Room 9's cool post about their favourite toys. We thought it would be fun to bring our favourite toys to school to share too! 
Big thanks to Miss Gardner's flatmate Julz for letting us borrow your camera! We had lots of fun watching the picture appear on the polaroid. 





















Our Favourite Animals

This week while Miss Gardner was away Room 4 did some very cool art with Mrs Thigpen and Mrs Jacomb. 
As part of our provocation we have been talking a lot about our favourite animals. Take a look at these awesome art works. They are now on display in the cloakroom. A big thank you to Henare from Room 13 for helping me staple them up this afternoon!
