Since this is arts week, we have gone arts crazy!Our theme is "Under The Sea", we have been making fish tanks with paper and premium transparencies. Next we designed tropical fish, and we drew it on cardboard and cut it out.Then we had to tape newspaper scrunched up together and put kitchen paper with glue on it. The next step is to let it dry and paint. We also designed portholes and they had to be imaginative as we can.And today, we are going to be designing and making a 3D aquarium.

STREET CHILD(J T)

This week, we have started a new text called "street child".The book is about a family and there dad dies, so they have to move out of there cottage(this is based in the Victorian time by the way). Then they have to move into a shared house with many other families and they only have one room between them.The rent payer then comes and the family have no money to pay him because there mum is very ill and cant work. So the children,Jim,Emma & Lizzie try to hide there mum but ail and they get kicked out.And we only came to there.On Thursday we acted out the scenes doing freeze frames.Here are some pictures!!
