Deconstruction with Ben and Lance

Here is Ben and Lance fully engaged in one of our Discovery Learning activites, deconstruction.  Oh, I forgot to tell them they need to reconstruct the sewing machine once they have deconstructed!

The "How To" Project

This term, part of our learning in writing has been how to write instructions. One of our tasks was the "How To" project - we each had to select something that we could teach others how to do, write instructions and film a matching instructional video. Coming up on our blog you will see each of our instructional videos, with the written instructions to download if you want to try this things at home.
We hope you enjoy our writing!

Poetry Anthology

On Wednesday a few weeks ago Mrs Weir started some poetry with us. We had to create a Poetry Anthology. You need 8 or more of your own poems and 5 collected poems. You need more than 12 poems, a contents page and a title page. Don’t rush because it takes a long time to finish. When you’re finished you bind it together then you are done.

What do you think of my anthology?

 

Our Class Dog Kennel

The steps on how to make the Mitre 10 Mega dog kennel.

 

1.  We got told that we were receiving a dog kennel to build and decorate from Mitre 10 Mega, for a competition.

2.  We thought of design ideas and planned the kennel.

3.  Fergus and Mrs Cassie constructed it so that we could get measurements and to see what it looked like.

4.  In groups we made our final plans and started drafting the stencils that we would use to paint the kennel.

5.  We deconstructed the kennel because we couldn’t fit it through the door and it would be easier to paint and spray paint.

6.  We made our stencils on cardboard and put them in place on the kennel.

7.  We spray painted, used vivid and painted the kennel.

        We then constructed it and sent it to the competition! We hope it sells for lots of money at Mitre 10 on Saturday!
