ART WITH MRS MCCRACKEN







On Monday the 14th of September our class finished our paper mache pigs.First we paper mached our ballon with six layers .Then we painted it white and let it dry for one week. For the legs we cut out four cups from the egg carton and for the snout we cut the end off a milk bottle. Then we put more layers of paper mache over the legs and snout.
Then we put white paper all over it and let it dry again. Next we put paper towels over it and painted it white.
Mrs Mc Cracken told us how to use the paint brushes properly.Then she told us to do a draft copy of what our pigs were going to look like. After that we started painting. We all had different ideas and designs some kids had tiger pigs, cow pigs, flying pigs, royal pigs, we have even got a Michael Jackson pig and a super hero pig!
We love our pigs!!
Thanks Mrs McCracken.

I loved all the art done it is very colourful and looks great.
I have just spent a week at my Granny's and was very sorry to hear about the break in at the school. I hope you are all still able to have a celebration on Monday for Scotty's birthday.
I hope you are all ok. My new school is great but I do think about you and just wanted to say hi.
