Painting, pop-ups and planets!

It has been all go this week in Room 5. We have been working hard on several big projects. This week we spent a bit of time painting and completing the first steps for the annual Nelson Mask Parade. Our school wide theme is Alice in Wonderland and our syndicate are the Mad hatters. Our masks are beginning to take shape and we can't wait to have them completed.

We finished our pop-up book this week. Our book titled Room 5's voyage into space gone wrong is a faction. Brenda taught us that a faction is a mixture between fiction and faction. We all worked very hard typing up the text on the computer and then adding our pictures and 3D elements. Our book was launched to our parents on Friday with a round of applause. 

 On Friday afternoon we also presented our planet presentations. This was the result of a lot of hard work researching the information and then using it to create a google presentation. Sally was very impressed as we all presented them to an audience of over 40 people. You can check out our presentations on our blogs.
