Advent wreaths

Advent is a time to prepare for the birth of Jesus.
We have an advent wreath in class.
It has 3 purple candles on it (for hope, love and peace) and a pink candle (for joy) and a white candle (for the birth of Jesus).
We light one candle a week until Christmas time.
Today we made some advent wreaths of our own.
They will look very nice when they are finished.

Spacesuits for astronauts

We have designed spacesuits for astronauts.
We even put our countries flags on them.

Clay rockets

We made clay rockets today.
They will look lovely when they are finished.
Can you see our 3D shapes - cylinders, cones, spheres?

Marbling with ink

We had fun marbling with ink.
We know that oil and water don't mix, and by dipping paper into marbling (oily) ink we got really lovely patterns.
We will turn these pages into new planets later this week.
They look so good.

We used 2D shapes to make some really impressive rockets.
Can you spot rectangles, circles, ovals, stars, triangles and squares?
