My diya

 

Hello, today for our Diwali stuff we made Diyas a while ago and are posting them on our blog when we are done. We used modeling clay to shape small round pots with a thin bottom because if it has a thick bottom it won't dry as quick.  If you are making them with someone else you could put your initials on the bottom so they don't get mixed up. You can put cool patterns on your still wet Diya.

Next, it's time to paint, you could use pretty colours and bright colours and not too much black at all because Diwali is the festival of light so you want the colours to be bright. You could use a pencil to get in the markings and paint them. The paint drys super quick because its on proper clay. Its super fun to paint and you can put them all around your house. When you shape it it takes atleast 1-2 days to fully dry.

Then you can put candles in them. Once you have shaped and painted then you can put little candle inside light it and there you have your Diya. These were super fun to make and I finished a couple of days ago. We are taking them home once we are done and we get to keep them. I am super happy about how mine turned out and how all the patterns look. Hope you enjoy, bye.

Silhouette art.

Today we did art, we draw over silhouettes and then draw lines on the paper not through the picture though, next we coloured the silhouettes in with pastel next the background. Then outline everything in black. Hope you enjoy.

 

Oil spill solution.

Hello, For a few weeks we have been learning about oil spills. We did an experiment, we got an container and put water in it, then we put canola oil in it then penguins and we had to save the penguins and figure out how to   get the oil out of the water. Next we draw a picture on how we could pick up the oil if it was in the sea. I draw a rubber ducky with hair on the bottom and on the beak. you can release and dip the beak in the water because it also has hair and fur on it. For disposal I had the idea to burn it in an oven or fire or something like that. Hope you enjoy.

What is an ecosystem?

An ecosystem is made up of three different types of things in an ecosystem Decomposers, producers, and consumers.

Decomposers: Decomposers are the mushrooms and fungi. They decompose the dead animals.

Consumers: Consumers are the animals that eat the plants to survive.

Producers: The producers are the plants that produce food for the animals.

Moving milk By Katie,Ruby and Declan

Today we did a milk moving experiment. I learnt about science and how to make amazing patterns in the milk. I really enjoyed when we put the cotton bud in and made the food colouring go lighter and make differnt patterns.
