Eric Carle style Ducks

We read the book Lazy Duck and we all thought it was great! Then we read Eric Carle's book The Artist who painted the Blue Horse. We made our own Lazy Duck art using his style of art work. We had to paint the all the paper and then cut out the shapes to create our duck. Eric Carle Styled Art on PhotoPeach

Discovery Today

Today we went to Room 6 and made some musical instruments.  We made some drums and maraccas.  The drums were called tom toms.   The maraccas had rice and pasta.

Celebrating

Yestereday Mrs Smith from the Salvation Army came back to school.  She came to school to pick up all the toys and books that the year 1 and 2 children had collected. Mrs Smith said thank you to all of us.  We felt excited and happy to help other people. This was our celebration for our Toy's Stories inquiry.

Buddy Writing

Yesterday we did some writing with our Room 13 buddies. We wrote a story about our buddy and what they looked like.  We had lots of fun writing with our big buddies. They even marked our work. They thought we were excellent writers!

Making Easter Crackle Nests

Today Room 2 went to the hall kitchen and made chocolate crackle nests.  We made them with Mars Bars, cocoa, cream and ricies.  We put the mixture into cupcake wrappers and put Easter eggs on top so they looked like a nest.


Here is the recipe so you can make them too.


Ingredients

• 200g Mars bars, chopped
• 2 tbs thin cream
• 2 tsp cocoa powder, sifted
• 3 cups Rice Bubbles
• 20 small Easter eggs, to decorate

Place the Mars bars, thin cream and cocoa in a heatproof bowl over simmering water (get an adult to help), making sure bowl does not touch water. Stir until melted and smooth. Place Rice Bubbles in a large bowl, pour in Mars bar mixture and stir until well combined. Pile mixture into paper cases and decorate each with an Easter egg. Place in the fridge until firm.
