Bath Bombz and Soap

Our inquiry theme is 'Express Yourself.'  Since it's the school fair we'll be looking at how we can express ourselves through the senses.  We've been given the job of creating luscious soaps and smelly bath bombz.

Check out The Whiteboard Witch.  Do you remember our soaps from last year?

Behind the scenes of the Environmental Insiders

The children spent many hours of research, script writing and storyboarding to make their movie about the environment. I think they have a pile of research, scripting, movie ideas and storyboarding about 20cm thick!

My still life

In today's workshop we learnt how to draw still life, how to use shade and shading.  I really liked the painting, it was fun!  Next I'd like to use colour and different tones.
