Connections: June 30 - July 1

Connections started off the week with a fun surprise: Dress-ups! We had a lot of fun pretending to be dragons, butterflies, knights, construction workers, good guys, bad guys, and even a dentist! 

We also started making an armature for our papier-mache castle-rocket! Full of tunnels and towers and entrances for the bad guys and the good guys. 

There were some really creative methods used to make fun effects with the water colours. Sander and Lucy had the idea to use a sponge to soak up some of the colour, and we used spray bottles to make a galaxy effect. 

We have also been building in Construction, painting with watercolors, and weaving with looms!

Freddie: "I'm making New York City."
Lily: "There's not much green there!"
Freddie: "In New York there's a lot of stuff."

Noah: "I made a carousel!"

We've also had a lot of fun experimenting with wet-on-wet vs. wet-on-dry watercolour techniques, and with building the armature for our papier-mache Castle-Space-Rocket.
