Colourful Christmas Trees

Today we made colourful Christmas trees with Ms Rhodes.

First we got a blue piece of paper to use as our background.

We cut out strips of different coloured paper.  Each strip was smaller and smaller.  We stuck the strips on the blue piece of paper.

When we finished it looked like a Christmas tree!

THESE ARE OUR DESIGNS

It was fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Christmas Trees

On Wednesday 12th December we started making paper Christmas trees.

We cut out two identical Christmas tree shapes.  Then we coloured them in with pastels and coloured pencils.  Then we went onto the mat and decorated them with glue, glitter and glitter glue.  Next we will cut down the middle of one tree shape and up the middle of the other tree shape, and stick them together.

They will make a 3D Christmas tree!

We have had fun making them!

We are going to hang them on our Christmas tree!

Boaty Motey

Last Friday afternoon the class went to the dirty pool to sail our class's awesome boats.  This was part of our wind project.  Our project was to make a boat that would float, stay on the surface, and move fast.

My boat sunk so did my even better boat!  So Thor's cool boat sunk and Jonty's awesome boat sunk too!  

Bella's boat was really good because it moved and it floated.  In high winds it would fall and kill itself.

Max's boat nearly sunk but did not.

How To Make A Wind Vane

You need:

• a ball of clay a little bit bigger than a ping-pong ball.
• 2 paper plates
• a pencil with a rubber on top
• 1 pin
• a straw
• a triangle shaped piece of card
• a 5 sided shape (like a rectangle with 2 small triangles cut off the end).
• glue
• black pen
• coloured pens
• sellotape
• ruler

What To Do:

1.  Sellotape the two pieces of card to either end of a straw.
2. Measure the straw and mark the halfway point.
3. Stick the pin through the straw into the rubber at the end of the pencil.  (Watch out!  Don't push the pin too hard!)
4. Sharpen your pencil.
5. Stick the pencil through the middle of one plate, and into the ball of clay.
6. Stick the clay onto the other plate.
7. Glue the sides of paper plates together.
8. Decorate the plates.
9. Mark in N, S, E and W around your plate.
10. Take it outside into the wind, and see what happens!

We found different things happened with different wind vanes.

We hope your vane works well and shows the wind well!
