Grade 5 - Term 2 and 3

The work that the Grade 5's are working on at present is a project that they started last term and are continuing with this term. They had to construct an animal out of recycled materials such as plastic bottles, newspaper, boxes, old pens...basically anything that they could find. When that was done, they then started to Papier Mache over their constructions to give their animals 'skin'. White paint is then painted over that, when it is dry, and then decoration can be added. The children are encouraged to be as imaginative as possible, as long as it is a well thought-out process.

Here are a few pics to show same of the work at the various stages...but, alas, we have not quite reached the decorating stage - that is still to come :)
