Our clay pandas have now dried and we painted them after the February holiday. Tomorrow, during Golden Time, we will glaze them to give them a protective layer. We cannot wait to take them home to show our families!

Clay Pandas
Pandas are a deemed to be ‘national treasures’ in China so we decided to re-create these giant and lovable creatures using clay.
After we let them air-dry we will paint and glaze them before we take them home!
We’ll keep you posted with some pictures of the finished pandas…
1 2 3 Blow!
Have a closer look at our wonderful cherry blossom tree pictures. These were created through the technique of ‘blow painting’.
We used straws to blow the watery paint mixture around the paper which created very effective branches. Neon pink paint and tissue paper were then added to finish our designs.
Kung Hei Fat Choi!
To celebrate Chinese New Year and as part of our IDL topic on ‘China’, we have been creating and making decorations for the classroom.
Next week, after the holiday weekend we will be cooking some Chinese inspired dishes including stir-fry. We will update the blog with a post to show the fruits of our labour!
We guess the only question is: Would you like noodles or rice with that?
Remember, Remember…
…the fifth of November!
We were inspired to make these fireworks pictures using a variety of art medium; including collage, chalk and pastels. It was a very messy job but we think they turned out spectacularly!
