Lucia Paper Sculpture

We made paper sculptures thinking about colour, shape and space. Then we photographed them ourselves. Here are my thoughts about my sculpture:

I like the tunnel. I like the wee little spirals going through the tunnel.

Autumn Leaves: Lucia

The leaves are cool. I like the printed one best because it has cool bits of paint on it and different colours. The sketched leaf was the hardest to do because it was hard doing the lines up to the bumps on the edge of the leaf.

Lucia: Mother's Day Card

We used finger prints to make the flowers and bees on these Mother’s Day cards. My mum is fantastic because she reads me books.

Lucia: Maui and the Sun

We read the legend of Maui and The Sun and then coloured our own maori sun designs. This is what I wanted to say about the legend.

The brothers tried to catch the sun by making a rope with flax.

Lucia's Wiggle Picture

To make our 'Wiggle" pictures firstly we painted a long, black, wiggly line starting on one side of the page and ending on the other side. The different parts of the line could touch but were not allowed to cross over. Next we used 4 different colours to paint in the spaces. We tried hard not to paint spaces next to each other the same colour. Finally we added texture using black and white paint and small patterns of dots, circles, waves, crosses and seagulls.

I like the colour in my painting. It was easy to do the noughts and crosses the little dots were the hardest bit.

Lucia's Caterpillar

The caterpillar is black. I went to see the caterpillar.

Lucia's Chalk Writing

I like the name with the star next to it the best because all the small letters are the same height.- Lucia 21/3/09

Lucia's Planet

We made these planets as part of our work on the sound 'p'. Our buddies from Room 5 helped us to make the planet rings out of silver foil. We came up with the idea of displaying them alongside our rockets that we made when learning how to count back from 10. Come and check them out in Room 11.

Elmer the Elepahnt by Lucia

As part of our work on the sound 'e' we read the story of Elmer the Elephant by David Mckee. Then we made our own pictures of Elmer using wax crayon and water colour dyes. I like the colours and I would improve it by putting more colours and different colours on it.
