Merry Christmas

Thank you to everyone for the lovely gifts and cards I received today.  Best wishes to all those students who are moving on to a new school in 2016.  To everyone who will be returning to my class, I look forward to our new adventures in Room 1!!  What a change that will be.

Opening the time capsule

In term one, we measured our height and the length of our feet with string, then sealed the string into a time capsule.  This week we opened the capsule and found that most people had grown in height and in shoe size.

Symbols of Beginning and End

This week, we have turned ordinary muesli bar boxes into canvases.
First, we dissembled our boxes, turned them inside out, and glued them back together again.  We then sealed and painted the boxes white to create a surface for painting on.

We then chose whether to paint a scene from the beginning or end of the life of Jesus.  We experimented with colour blending and shading.  These are our finished canvases.
