Mosaic Artworks & Babushka Dolls

It is so nice to hear the students encouraging each other when they notice another student working hard to achieve a person goal. Well done Jack for the outstanding effort you have made this week. Alisha, it's great to see you settling in to your new school and the way you settle into your work.

2BV's artistic travels have come to an end this term. Over the last couple of weeks, students were finishing their Mosaic artworks that were inspired by our 'visit' to Italy. These were laminated and students were very happy to be able to finally take them home. Here are a few from the class... they all looked amazing!

Our last 'overseas trip' in Art was to Russia where we learnt a little bit about Babushka Dolls. It took us a little while to cut out all the pieces and match them up correctly. This is what our Babushka Dolls looked like when they were finished.

2BV, what was your favourite artwork this term? and Why?

Making Kazoos

2BV were very excited today that we were finally able to make our kazoos. As we have been learning about sound in Science this term, we've learnt that sound travels through vibrations and some of the many different ways that sound can be created.

Here's how we made our kazoos

Materials

• cardboard roll / tube (one per student)
• wax / baking paper
• rubber bands
• scissors

Procedure

1. Cut a small square of waz paper about one inch larger than the opening of the cardboard tube.
2. Wrap the wax paper over one end of the tube and secure it with a rubber band.
3. Put the open end of the kazoo up to your mouth and hum a tune into it.

In our lesson today, we explored how the kazoos amplified the sound when we hummed into them and how the sound of our voices changed when we spoke into the kazoos. We had lots of fun making funny sounds. We were all fascinated with the vibrations that could be heard and felt because of the baking paper on the end of the cardboard roll.

At the end of the day we used a kazoos to create our own version of 'Twinkle twinkle little star'.

Mums & dads, I am sure you were entertained by the kazoos that came home today.

A visit to see Spider & Graf

This morning we went to visit some horses at the Ag plot. Mrs Gruening had brought her two horse, Spider and Graf to school for the students to groom them to be ready for the Camden Show. Spider is the black horse and Graf is the brown horse, he is about a year old. Some of us were able to feed the horses carrots. The horses were excited as they ate the carrots. Spider kept neighing and spraying us a bit with his saliva! It was a bit gross!

We had lots of fun and enjoyed our adventure to the Ag plot. Thank you Mrs Gruening for inviting us to visit.
