Arts and Crafts - Mary Jane Eye of god
On Wednesday in crafts I learnt how do the eye of god or also known as captain America shield, I don't have a photo of what they really look like but this is a proper one that has been done, if you want to look at more write in images eye of god crafts it will show up with beautiful and bright colours or dark gloomy colours you can even write it in youtube and see the amazing skill it takes to make the eye of gd crafts, you end result though will look amazing.
What did mine look like - My eye of god didn't look so well because it was my first time every making one but now I have the hang of it and I think i'm getting better, remember they look easy but there not easy at all.
Where can you find this Item - If you would like one they might be up on sale at the Tamaki Primary School market day or click on this link for a video or keep reading for instructions.
How to make eye of gods -
1 you need 3 Iceblock sticks
2 you need different coloured wool
3 you need to get a Ice block stick doesnt matter which one and then not the wool to the Ice block sticks,
4 put all 3 iceblock sticks together do not glue them just but them on top and make a star shape
5 bined the string together and than start to web them, at first it will seem a bit wobbly or unstable but when you reach your 3rd web you will feel it stop shaking and than you continue to web and you will get your end result and if you want to change the colours tie a another piece of wool to the end and not it twice. and you will get a beautiful coloured eye of god
here is a fun rainbow one -

Title:
Author:
What would you rate this book out of 10?
Who are you recommending this book to?
(Other year 5 and 6 students? Tamaki Students? Adults? People who like scary/funny stories?)
I would give this book to my niece because she loves reading books and she loves books like Crinkum Crankum.
Who were the main characters in this book?
Crinkum Crankum Tree
Which
Fairy GodMother
What was the theme of the book?
(Was it funny? Was it scary? Did it contain lots of action?)
I think this book is fun to listen to and read but I think they tried making the theme scary because it has witches and everything in it.
What was your favourite part of the book?
My favorite part was when the witch found out she was doing good because she made the tree good for the kids to climb on and they thought it was the best tree in town, and the tree and kids were always happy.
If you had to use 6 words to describe the book what words would they be?
1. Crazy
2. Strange
3. Fantasy
4. Sinister
5. Unique
6. Magical

Crafts 1st of June 2016 Scooby's - Mary Jane
Today In Room 8 crafts we did something called Scooby,
Scooby's are a fun thing to do you can make them into bracelets, key rings and rings,
I think Scooby's are very cool and fun to make but they are very hard at the same time these just this small one has taken me 3 days to finish.
At the start I didn't really know how to do them, but my teacher and the one that is teaching this class helped me, she showed all of us how to do the not and then the first not which was the hardest thing about these Scooby's, I had to watch the teacher for a while and it took half the time of the lesson before I got it, the people that I were mostly working with where Cerenity and Caroline we all had a bit of trouble at the start and that Cerenity got it and than me, Caroline got the hang of it today and it was fun doing this with them because they helped me and I helped them.
I now am getting the hang of it but I just need the teacher sometimes and it is never bad to ask for help sometimes, I have 2 Scooby's and here they are but only 1 is done though, hope you like them they are going to be on sale, please come down and have a look at them there are gonna be bath bombs and battin art come down and have a look.
