P2M visited Jupiter Artland last week and we really enjoyed our learning. We learned about the stories behind many of the sculptures and we had opportunities to be very creative, especially when we made our own aliens. This was a fantastic way to start our new topic “The Enchanted Woodland.”

Article 13: We have the right to find out things and share what we think with others.

Article 29: We have the right to develop our talents and abilities.

This was when we danced like the white building. We made up our own dances to  match all the patterns. We thought one side looked like a house and the other side looked like a castle.

This was a huge sculpture that some of us thought was a huge basketball net. We used our learning in Science to talk about which material we thought was used to make the sculpture.

It was so much fun walking up to the top of the grass hills. We could see the “Love Bomb” from the top which we found very exciting. Then we carefully walked back down while Miss Marra took a photo of the beautiful view.  We learned that the gardeners have to work very hard to cut the grass and keep this area neat. We think they do an amazing job.

It was very exciting using our imagination to talk about what we thought could be at the bottom of the hole in this sculpture. Hollie Mc thought the hole might take her to see her family in Australia. It was interesting to hear all our different ideas and we would like to explore this further in class.
