Ruby 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 circles, one is on top and one is below.

Ruby: Mother's Day Card

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

Ruby: Maui and the Sun

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

Maui went out to catch the sun and his brothers did too.

Ruby's Wiggle Pictures

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. In ICT we made another wiggle picture using Tuxpaint or Kidpix on the computer.

I like the texture, I put it on carefully. I like the painting best because I did the line not crossing over itself. The painting was the easiset to do. I did my computer picture with my buddies from Room 5.

Ruby's caterpillar

I like the caterpillar, I held the caterpillar.

Ruby's Chalk Writing

I like the name with the star next to it the best because the 'y' tail is under the line.

Elmer The Elephant by Ruby

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 putting dye on the elephant. I would make it better by putting different colours on.
