Room 2 is a class of 20, Year 1 and 2 students. We are 5 and 6 years old and go to Oakura School in Oakura, Taranaki, New Zealand. Oakura is a small village on the coast. We can see Mount Taranaki from our school playground and are near Egmont National Park. Oakura School children take care of the local beach and enjoy activities in their local environment.

How we made our calendar art
First we made our own paper by crayon rubbing. Then we dyed our paper. We ripped up some tissue paper and glued it on to make a background. We did some sketching of birds. Then we cut up our own patterned paper to make it look like birds. We glued our birds onto a piece of black paper. Afterwards, we cut around our birds leaving a black line around them. Finally we glued our birds onto the tissue backgrounds.

Cerys Had A Little Lamb
Dinosaur Sculptures
Last term we learned about extinct species and then we made dinosaur sculptures.
We used wire nailed onto a block of wood to bend into the shape of a dinosaur. We stuffed the bodies with newspaper and then wrapped them in strips of cloth that had been dipped in plaster of paris. Finally we painted our sculptures and gave them a coat of P.V.A. glue to make them shiny.
They make a great display in our school foyer.
