Flag Making






We have been gearing up for Multicultural Week by creating flags representing the various cultures at our school. Once we decided on the flags we needed we had to research the flag, draw it up and then paint it. Along the way we discovered and shared the interesting symbols and colours of the various flags.

Its a Small World




As part of our Earth Forces unit we create small models of the earth applying the various layers using modelling clay. When we were finished we cut the models in half which gave us opportunity to view the cross section of the earth! It is a small world and an interesting one!
