Book Week Parade

On Friday the 19th the school dressed up into a character from a book. Each class walked around the hall showing off their cool creations to the school and also the judges which were Mrs Hills, Mrs Harwood and Mrs Sandifar. There were 2 winners from the years 1 & 2's, 3 & 4's and  5 & 6's. I thought the best outfit was Gabe from room 6, he dressed up as a Joker.

Corban's art centre

On thursday rooms 2 & 3 went to the corbans art centre in Henderson. At the Corban's art centre we created sculptures using recycled materials. We all chose an item to start with and then we thought about what we could do with it and then we went back to the pile with materials to build a masterpiece. We got to meet Andrew hall who is an artist that creates sculptures from recycled materials. 

• I enjoyed creating the sculpture from recycled materials.
• The most challenging part was finding parts that could be useful.
