Creating Bodies for our puppets

While the paint was drying on our heads we continued hand sewing the bodies and clothes for our puppet characters.

The hard part was keeping it flat and threading the needle.

Some of us used fur because our characters are animals.

All dressed ready to attach the head. Think Caleb will add some buttons to the shirt so he knows where the front is.

Creating puppets

Today we painted the second undercoat onto our heads for our puppets. 

We used a flesh coloured paint to cover the newspaper.

This was quite tricky. If we didn't work fast enough the paper started to peel off.

Mothers Day

This year on Mothers day I made breakfast in bed and brought a golden locket . Me and my dad felt proud  of ourselves.

My Special Event was Mothers Day it was the best day of my life(for my mum).

Me and my brother made a goodie basket and in it we put:

1.A white chocolate bunny rabbit.

2. Raspberry chocolate logs.

3. Vanilla Fudge.

and some beautiful flowers

After about 30 seconds (maximum )we asked for some fudge...

without a doubt she said no!

The next morning we woke up and we found the fudge packet empty.

We asked mum, "Where is the fudge!"

"Me and your father ate it. I had about 3 pieces your dad ate the rest."

Mothers Day

On Mothers day, my dad, brother and I were in Christchurch. My sister and my mum were in Greymouth. We went for a long drive from Woodend to Ferrymead. We went to Ferrymead to get my mums Mothers day gift. I got her some fudge and a eye mask. We got it for free. When she got back I gave it to her.

What did you get your mum for mothers day?

Writing about a time that was special to us

This year on mothers day was pretty good for her.I was a good daughter and made her breakfast in bed, that was scramble eggs on toast and some coffee. "It was perfecto," she said. Also my sister brought mum some perfume. It was very important to me because she always has to work very early in the morning and it it good to know that she can relax, then so can I. Next time on Mothers day try and do something nice for your mum, will you?

 Term 2 in Room 10

Wow, Room 10 has already been working hard this term.

This term we will be working on Keeping Ourselves Safe, our Financial Literacy, as well as many sporting activities such as Turbo Touch and Ripper Rugby. 

We are busy cutting and sewing bodies for our puppets as well as creating paper mache' heads. These puppets will then 'Star' in the plays that we are also writing. We hope to make videos so that we can share them with you later in the term.
