What's Jan been up to?

Hi all - I have been following your school blog to keep up to date with what you have been doing in room 7. Mrs Harpur has set you some great art to do. Myself and my family bubble - a husband Lee and a daughter Jennifer have been trying to keep busy - reading, doing Wasgij puzzles, watching TV, going for walks around our neighbourhood, exercising on the front lawn to name a few things.

This week we created Anzac poppies to put on our letterbox, on metal rods to put in the lawn and for our santa bears in the window. I will be getting up at 6 o'clock in the morning on Anzac Day to stand by my letterbox and shining a torch in the sky to remember the soldiers.

Lets Get Creative ANZAC day is this Saturday.  I think it would be great to do some Poppy Art to remember all those who died in the war. Today you have two options (depending on what you have available at home).  You could do this milk bottle art or you could draw some poppies and decorate your letterbox/window/door. (Ask permission from home first). Milk Bottle Art (see my video) 1.  Get an adult to help cut the top part off your milk bottle. 2.  Using the links below.  Draw a poppy/cross onto paper. 3.  Put your paper inside your bottle and trace with a black vivid onto your bottle.  If you don't have vivids then you could just stick your paper onto the outside of your bottle.   4.  Put sand or dirt on the inside of your bottle and put your tea-light candle on the dirt. Ask an adult to light it on Anzac Day.  If you don't have a tea light candle              you could use a torch.
