Tom 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 my sculpture it has 2 rectangles and 1 circle.

Autumn Leaves: Tom

My leaves are colourful. I like the printed on best because it has all the colours on it. The hardest one to do was the one we drew.

Tom: 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 buys me parcels.

Tom: 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.

Maui made a big wall so the sun could not see them.

Tom'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 painted picture best. I like the patterns on the computer picture and it was easy to use the 'fill bucket' on the computer to put the colour on.

Tom's Scary Spider

We painted these spiders as part of our work on the sound 's'. I liked the eyes that go up and down and Bruno liked the web: Tom

Tom's caterpillars

The caterpillar is climbing.

Tom's Chalk Writing

I like the name with the star next to it the best because all the letters are sitting on the line. - Tom 21/3/09

Tom'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 Elephant by Tom

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, to make it better I would put colours under my name.
