Save the Planet Song

Our class is learning the Kath Bee song "Save the Planet" for our end of year performance.  This is the song we have chosen to model our recycled hats to.  Watch the uTube clip below and practice singing it :)

Rufus and the Rain

Yesterday we had Mark and Brenda visit us at Birchwood School.  Mark wrote the story "Rufus and the Rain".  Mark and Brenda were wonderful musicians and played the mandolin and guitar to us.  We all enjoyed listening to the story :)  Click on the link below the photo to listen to the story on Utube.

Bring your Recycled Items to School

Room 6 have now finished making our papier mache hats.  We are now going to paint them and attach our recycled items to decorate them.

Room 6 here are some ideas of recycled items you could attach to your hat . . .

Buttons, material, bottle top lids, old CDs, plastic bags, wool (pom poms), wrappers, old wrapping paper, old cards, etc.

Recycled Hats

We have started to make our recycled hats for the end of year performance "What a Load of Rubbish".
We have drawn designs to show what our hats will look like in our topic books.  We have all chosen different kinds of hats (helmets, caps, beanies, sunhats, cowboy hats, princess hats, top hats).

On Thursday we put gladwrap over some $2 shop hats and began to cover them with papier mache.  The gladwrap will stop the newspaper from sticking to the hat.  When they are dry we should have a newspaper mould of a hat that we can then attach recycled items to.

The kids in Room 6 now need to start collecting the recycled items they would like to attach to their hats (buttons, plastic milk bottle lids, plastic bags, wrappers, material, wool, etc).
