100 Years Old

Today we imagined what we might look like when we are 100 years old! Have a look at us here. Later we wrote stories about what life might be like when we are 100 years old! When I am 100 Years Old ….. My face will be as wrinkly as an elephants bottom. My hair will be as white as the sky. I will be an old inventor. I will have a walking stick. I will have a healthy diet. By Riley B When I am 100 Years Old ….. I am sweet and kind. I will die when I am 100 years old. I hope my family will celebrate my birthday. I will have grey hair like a stormy sky and a walking stick that looks just like a normal stick. When I will live I will be all by myself when I am 100 years old. By Charlotte When I am 100 Years Old ….. I might have some wrinkles. I will be very sweet. I will have hardly any hair because I will be 100 years old. By Ashley When I am 100 Years Old ….. I will have hair as dark as the night sky. I will also have glasses. I will have a walking stick too. I will also have hearing aides. I will be a very, extremely old granny. I will have my granddaughters and grandsons come to my house. By Ava When I am 100 Years Old ….. When it’s 100 days of school party on Thursday I think it’s going to be fantastic. I want it to be fantastic. We need to dress up like a 100 year old person. I want to be sweet and kind but I am grumpy. I would like a walking stick. I love to be sweet or kind but I am still grumpy. Elenoa When I am 100 Years Old ….. I would be mad as a lion. By Finn When I am 100 Years Old ….. If I was 100 years old I wouldn’t hear very well. I would have a walking stick. I would be grumpy. I would wear glasses. I would be so old that I would die. By Tiaan When I am 100 Years Old ….. If I was 100 years old I have a walking stick and wrinkles. I would be grumpy. My whole face would have baking soda on it! By Hayden   When I am 100 Years Old ….. I am the sweet one and the kind one. I am a funny, big granny. I am 100 years old. I am going to die. My hair is grey. My face is funny, little, old and it has some of the little kind of spots. I walk with a walking stick. If I go past the road I am going to sit on the moon chair. If I wasn’t just old I will not with a walking stick. I am not going to sit on a moving chair past the road but I was still an old woman but I didn’t want to be one. I was looking so weird when I am an old woman because I wanted to be one now. If I was still old I will be like that for ages and ages. By Fatai When I am 100 Years Old ….. When I’m 100 I will like to do sitting on the chair watching TV too. By Bryn. When I am 100 Years Old ….. I will be sweet. I will be kind. I will wear glasses. I will live in a tower.

When I am 100 years old I will have a walking stick and die! By Harper When I am 100 Years Old ….. I got a walking stick. I have glasses. I am almost deaf. Oh, how funny I am! I have a wheel chair. I am almost as blind as a bat and I am very kind. I am dying. By Grace When I am 100 Years Old ….. If I was 100 years old I would be as old as sea turtle. If I was 100 years old I would have a zimmer frame and glasses and false teeth. By Cillian When I am 100 Years Old ….. If I was 100 years old I would be really kind to others. If I was 100 I would have grey hair, false teeth (Maybe), Maybe grandchildren and maybe great grandchildren. If I was 100 I maybe would have a walking stick. By Israa When I am 100 Years Old …..

I am a funny looking Granny. I have a walking stick. I have grey hair too. Oh, what a funny Granny I am! I’m riding in my wheel chair down the road! Ooooh, what a funny Granny I am. Now, I’m sweet, kind and funny. I’m 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, a billion I love eating banana toast. I go to Granny School. My house is a farm and in my farm I’ve got some hens, cows and goats. Her name was Granny, Granny. By Lily   When I am 100 Years Old ….. I am going to be deaf as can be. My hair is grey as possible. I am sitting in a chair all day. But one day I will die to death and no one will see me. I can play tricks on people and no one will see anywhere at all. Now my spirit is dead too. Now it is time to say goodbye to everybody. My whole body is dead but it is not true. I am still a spirit because spirits last forever. You can’t hurt spirits and I am going to go to Spirit School when I’m a spirit. I will be zooming like a rocket around people in the world. It is not so fun to be a spirit. I might be 900 when I’m a spirit. It will be better if I was 99. At least I’m not dead for now. For now I’m still six. I just want to be how I am. Now I am glad I am six. By Bina   When I am 100 Years Old ….. I will not be dead but I will have a walking stick. My hair will be white I am going to be kind. By Riley S

Art Day

We had a huge day of art on Friday.

We read the book The Very Lonely Firefly by Eric Carle.  We studied the pictures too so we could see how he made his collage illustrations.  Have a look at the story on this clip.





Next we painted the background for our art work using black and blue paint.
We also painted a piece of paper with red on one half and brown on the other to make our firefly's wings and body.

We turned the heaters up really high to dry our paint during lunch time.  After lunch we put our art together and added wobbly eyes and a glowing tail to our firefly and stars to our background.

We listened to Fireflies while we worked.

It was a very busy and fun day.

Have a look at us here.

Art Fun

After a very wet week we decided to do some art with a rainy theme  .... then it turned out to be sunny on Friday!!

We made a collage picture of ourselves hiding under an umbrella and splashing in a big puddle!  - this is exactly what lots of us did when it snowed on Tuesday!!

This art lesson made me feel very proud of the children as they each had to follow lots of instructions and do lots of careful cutting out too ... it was quite a tricky task and the results look great - check them out on our classroom wall.

Eric Carle Experts

Today we continued our work on our Eric Carle collage of the Very Hungry Caterpillar.

Last week we painted our paper green ready to make our own caterpillars like Eric Carle.  We also learned about how Eric Carle makes his collages by watching you tube clips.

Today we traced around a cup to make circles on our green paper- this is a tricky skill and we did really well.  Next we cut the circles out - again, we did a great job of this.

We glued our circles onto black paper in an interesting caterpillar way.  We needed to overlap our circles for the best effect.

Next we made our caterpillar a head by cutting out a red circle and then adding eyes and antennae.

We also made tiny little legs for our caterpillar.

We are very proud of our art work - what do you think of it?

Eric Carle

Today we discovered who Eric Carle is.

Eric Carle is  famous author and illustrator.

We watched this clip on You Tube to discover more about Eric Carle.

We looked closely at the Very Hungry Caterpillar today.  We watched how Eric Carle used paints to make interesting patterns and textures.  We had a turn at painting some paper green and adding textures to it.  We started with green paint an added a small amount of white paint.  We used our brushes and our fingers to make interesting textures on the paper.  Next week we will cut out circles to make our very own Very Hungry Caterpillars.
