Today we had great fun using paper mache to make our 3D robots strong and sturdy.
“I liked using paper mache for my robot because it was very messy!” – Innaya
“I loved doing the paper mache because it was fun and messy – afterwards my hands were very sticky!” – Kayleigh
“Today I enjoyed getting messy! The dried glue was peeling off my hands. I enjoyed making my robot stronger.” – Briony
“The paper mache was very fun. I liked sticking the paper on my robot.” – Alfie
Hopefully, tomorrow all the paper mache has dried. We will be painting on Wednesday as the Primary 5’s are out at swimming tomorrow and we don’t want them to miss out. Check our blog on Wednesday to see our robots coming to life!

Next week we are looking forward to using paper mache to make our 3D robots strong and sturdy. After that, we will paint the robots using special metallic paint – we can’t wait!
Today we have been learning how to write limerick poems. We wrote a poem about Rex, a dinosaur in our class. It is very silly and we had good fun thinking of rhymes.
We are now writing our own limericks about robots.
“I enjoyed thinking of rhymes and thinking of silly sentences!” – Darby
“I had fun writing a limerick poem and writing a poem about Rex.” -Aimee
“I had fun making silly sentences and making them rhyme.” – Ryan
“It was funny seeing Rex dressed with glasses and a mobile phone!” – Caleb
Today we started to create some 3D robots using junk materials we collected from home. We used different 3D shapes for the head, body, arms and legs. We used masking tape to stick all the parts together and tomorrow we will use paper mache to make our robots stronger! We had a great time creating our robots, have a look at the pictures below!
We used adjectives to write some acrostic poems about volcanoes. We had great fun thinking of different words to describe sights, sounds and feelings associated with volcanoes. Have a look at some of our poems below. We hope you enjoy reading them 😀
Today we mixed vinegar, washing up liquid, water and red food colouring. We then added this to some bicarbonate of soda inside our volcanoes and there was a big eruption when all the chemicals mixed.
“The eruption was the best and coolest thing in the world!” – Iona
“I thought it was very cool!” – Kayleigh
“I mixed the bicarbonate of soda into the mix and it made the volcano overload with foam.” – Kieran
Have a look at our erupting volcano videos! 😀 (Videos will only play on a computer)
On Thursday we mixed different paints to paint our volcanoes. We used brown, black and green for the base then we used red, orange and yellow for the lava.
“Our volcano looked really cool when it had dried.” – Nicole
“After the volcanoes dried they all looked very realistic!” – Ryan
“We had an excellent time making our volcano models, it was fun!” – Caiden
Today we had fun creating robots using 2D shapes. We experimented using different shapes for different body parts.Â
“I had fun making my robot. I used a square for the head and rectangles for the arms and legs.” – Eva S
“Today I made a robot. I used a circle for the head and a rectangle for the body.” – Kai
“I used a square for the head and a rectangle for the body. I used more rectangles for the arms and legs then gave my robots wheels for his feet.” – Xander
“We made robots today. I made a bunny robot. I used a rectangle for the body and a square for the head. I used rectangles for the feet, legs and arms.” – Nicole
