Friday Fun Day


First we had Discovery! Our Habit of Mind was Make It Right!

We then made Kaleidiscopes in Art time. What a great day!

We had to hold water while on the park.

We had to catch the ball with the fuzzy pad.

Mr Kumar is trying to put the nose on the clown.

We needed to stay on the skateboard!

First we drew our pictures

Then we put them onto coloured card.

We then glued silver stuff (tinfoil) onto another piece of card and we glued them together. We then folded it into a triangle.

Next we cut out a black circle, poked a hole in the middle, and taped it onto the body of the scope,

We decorated plastic circles with glitter and stickers to put on the other end. Here is our finished products!
