Primary Five have set up a company to make a craft for the school Christmas Fayre.

We decided to make a reindeer using a bar of soap and a face cloth.

We thought very hard about our company name and Maya suggested ‘Reindeer Rub a Dub Dub’.

Our logo was designed using ideas form everyone.

 

Our first job was to find the materials.  We used the I-pads to locate what we needed at the best price.

Once our materials arrived we began to make our reindeer. 

Aiden and Lucas have carefully placed the soap on the face cloth and folded into a reindeer shape.  This was then secured with an elastic band.

Hannah is busy making antlers out of brown pipe cleaners.

Maya is attaching the antlers to the facecloth.

Jody is adding on the eyes and nose.

Our lovely reindeer crafts are now made and ready for you to buy at the Christmas Fayre on Saturday 28th November.

See you there!

We have been very busy finding out about the animals that live in a coral reef.  Angelfish and Clownfish are two examples of fish that would be found in a coral reef.  Here is some of our art work.

We have also found out about food chains within a coral reef.

 

I really liked learning about the animals that live in a coral reef. – Hannah Welsh

I found out that sea grasses and seaweed are called producers and are found at the bottom of the food chain. – Sarah McHugh

I was interested to learn that a puffer fish is a carnivore – Beth Stirling

I found out that an Angelfish is a herbivore.  – Ellie Ness

There are also omnivores that live in a coral reef and I discovered that a sea turtle is an omnivore because it eats the plants and other animals. – Aidyn Ferris

We have been learning about the Great Barrier Reef in Australia.  During art we used paint to create a image of the reef.

 

 

I found it difficult to draw the coral reef but it looked really good when it was painted. – Hannah Welsh

The pictures look amazing beacuse of all the different colours of coral that we included. – Mariana Ali

I think the pictures looked very realistic when they were finished because we tried to create shadows and show the distance between objects. – Aidyn Ferris
