Behind the Scenes: Outside of Spaceships

We drew spaceships on cardboard and then we put materials on them.  We made the spaceships bumpy with corrugated cardboard and we used hot glue guns.  After that we painted them.  We dry brushed them with different colours and gold paint.  We had to vote and the best spaceship was going to fly the puppets to the moon.  Everyone puppeteered and it was hard.  We had to work together and it was fun!  Bailey
The hardest part was figuring out how to make the robots.  We drew designs then made them by using the hot glue gun, scissors and cardboard.  The rockets were cut out and we made the control panels out of cardboard.  Then we dry brushed them and stuck on the control panels.  Ashton

These are some of our rocket designs...

On the left we are glueing cardboard onto a spaceship...

This is what we did before we painted the spaceships...

The spaceship on the left is the one that was going to fly to the moon...

Making our Artworks for Matariki....

We read a story called Celebrating Matariki.  Tania then told us we had to do a draft picture about Matariki.  Then we used black creative paint to go around the pencil marks.  We had to let it dry.

The next day we dyed inside the creative paint.  My picture is about the person trying to get the fish out of the sea and then they turn into the seven bright stars.
