Magnificent Masks

LI - to use variety of skills to design and make a mask

Room 2 has worked incredibly hard to work on this project. We started nice and early from end of Term 2 to study the history and the background of masks, came up with our own first design in our sketch books and then added more details to it after watching designers making them on videos.

We first chose our colours we will use. We were heavily influenced by Venetian masks so our plan was to add silver and gold to one of our chosen colour which made it look extravagant.

Then we designed a personal headpiece(s) to go on the mask. We thought using cardboard will be the best idea as it light and sturdy. We painted it and added details using beads, sequins and  diamanté beads. 

The eyes were later decorated with the diamanté beads - we learnt how to cut the top thread so the beads will still hold together but it will bend to the shape of the eyes. It was hard work!

Lastly we added mesh and feathers and other sparkly bits to make our mask stand out even more. We made sure the right colours were chosen so it matches the masks.

We hope to see all our parents in Term 4 when we showcase these amazing masterpieces.

Stuck on an deserted Island

“This is when you say a secret password to this tool. It will help you. It has these for rainy days (the gold pipe cleaner) they going to spread out and it will create an umbrella so it doesn’t get wet.”

LI - use your imaginations to invent a tool

LI - explain what your tool is and how it works

You are a courageous captain of a travelling ship. Due to a mighty storm your ship sinks to the bottom of the ocean and you are the only one who make it to an deserted island. You have a magical balloon, pipe cleaners and paper rolls. Come up with an invention that will help you with your escape!

I’m a Maths Guru

LI - roll two dice and add the numbers

LI - tell the time

We’ve learnt how to use two dice to add the dots together. We played a game with a buddy and took turns rolling the dice. We helped each other counting if one was stuck.

Telling the time is important. We even timed how long it took the pizza man to deliver our dessert pizza. 1 o’clock is lunch time. I know this because the bells goes at school and also in my tummy!

Silly Sentences

LI - write independently and sound out the beginning, middle and last sounds of words in a sentence.

Now that we know how to listen to the sounds and form first sounds, end sounds, digraphs and even the middle sounds, we can now write sentences by ourselves!!! This is one of the silly sentences I wrote down - My cat is not fat but my hen is not thin.
