Art and PE

Hello we are reporting from the class room known as Room 5.

For the past term we have been doing art. For art we had to make a clay house.

Last term we started doing our clay houses.Most people started their clay houses, but some didn't finish planning theirs so they just painted a picture of their dream house.

This week we are about to varnish our houses.

The steps for making our clay houses were:* Step 1. Start planning your dream house on paper.* Step 2. Make your clay into the right shapes.* Step 3.Attach the pieces together * Step 4.Put the creations in the kiln. Voila... your clay house!            

The picture that you are seeing is Tyra's amazing clay house.These are the things that are in Tyra's house: 1.T.V., 2.Bed, 3.Shoes 4.Shelf.

This picture [under Tyra's house] is Morgan kicking the ball.

We did soccer for P.E. on the huge school field.The task was to buddy up with a friend and practise kicking the ball to each other.

Olympic stamps

 Room 5 have been studying the 2012 London Olympic games. We had to choose a country that was competing in the Olympics that started with the same letter as our name, or our middle name. Once we had chosen a country we had to find facts out about it. Some of the facts we had to find out were, the population, languages spoken, what money they use and how many representatives they had competing in the 2012 Olympic games. We had to design stamps for the country that we chose. They could be famous landmarks, famous people, animals or famous sports. 
Here are some of our stamps and facts.
