With our topic being Australia, we created some Aboriginal art. We used stencils to draw round animals like a kangaroo, emu, snake, turtle or platypus. Then we used the end of our paintbrushes to dot around our animal to create bold art. We think they turned out great!

Some of our other art this week was creating habitat displays. We used a massive piece of paper and everybody had to draw or make their own animals in their Australian habitat. These habitats were the Great Barrier Reef, the Outback, grasslands and rainforests. We could use anything we liked to create the displays, so long as we worked well together to create them.

We’ve been doing discursive writing and the discussions in class have been interesting because everything thinks different things. This week we had two questions to choose from to write about:

• Should you be allowed to reserve sun loungers on holiday?
• Should children be made to do chores around the house?

Most of us chose to write about the sun loungers! We all had very different opinions on this but around half of us agreed you should be able to reserve them, and the other half thought you shouldn’t!

Today we’ll be rounding off a great week with the sponsored fun run at 10:00! We can’t wait!
