What we have been doing this term

This term we have been making dioramas, these are a type of scene that is usually made in a shoe box. When making dioramas you can use lots of things that you have around the home and you can make your own. Our dioramas have plastic Sea creatures, also paper Sea creatures, pipe cleaner seaweed etc. How we made our dioramas first everyone painted their shoe box, then we put in P.V.A glue to hold down the sand. After that we put together all the Sea creatures and scene setters using string, sellotape and glue.
We have a giant fishing net that we are using to hang up pictures of fish that we have drawn, some are big and some are small. We have now added our dioramas to complete our in class aquatic corner.
In Poutama we have been making hand towels, cooking experiments, making picture frames and I.C.T all about the Ocean.
We have done projects on all different sea creatures like Limpets, Sea Kinas, Hermit Crabs, Chitons(kite-ons), Sea Stars, Seaweed and Anemones.
We have put up pictures of Sea creatures on our wall that are all different, our classroom is looking wicked
