Literacy

I am learning to read and follow instructions.  Today I got to make a wrist wrapper!  It was hard to cut different materials but I found it easy to follow the instructions.  I also got to decorate the wrist wrapper.  I wanted to paint it but I ran out of time.  I am really proud of what I made!

W.i.t.b.b?

Themes and ideas to consider

Old to new - Who knew???

For our inquiry we are finding out how we can make something old new again.  We will be upcycling old school chairs to sell at our school gala.

Something NEW is unused, it's in good condition and looks good.

Something OLD has been around for a long time, doesn't look very good and is a bit worn and tatty.

Verbs to use when upcycling furniture:

Redesigning

Altering

Polishing

Painting

Framing

Cleaning

Gluing

Whittling

Sanding
