Hypertufa Pots

Last Thursday with Mrs Allan room four started to make Hypertufa pots and how we did that was . . .
Firstly we got a bit of cardboard and we shaped it into any kind of shape, I just did a simple square. Once you had your shape you put tape on it to keep the shape in place. Then you completely cover the cardboard on the outside and the inside. Once you have done that you grab another bit of cardboard to place on the bottom. You stick the bottom to the shape with loads of tape so it doesn't leak out. We had to make a small hole with our pencil at the bottom of the cardboard for a place for water to drip out of.

Then we mixed together perlite, concrete, water and Pete so it was in between lumpy and watery. Before we put any concrete into the cardboard we got some blue tack and a round container that fits perfectly inside of the cardboard. We made the bit of blue tack about 2cm long and stuck it into the hole we made and balanced the container on top. We carefully packed the concrete down the sides and at the bottom of the cardboard.

After 1 week we went up to the shade house where we had kept our Hypertufa pots. Room four rushed back to class to destroy our creations so we could get our pot out.
They look really cool but now our class smells like a garden centre.

My Thursday In Room 4

Today in room 4 we had Mrs Allan for the second time since being back at school. This Thursday we also made a time table of our day just like last week. Our P.E focus for term 2 is skipping with a skipping rope. It is actually really fun. 

I'M REALLY LOVING THURSDAYS WITH MRS ALLAN!!!

A Great Thursday With Mrs Allan

Today is Thursday with Mrs Allan we made a table on a doc and put what we were going to do for the day and what time we do that. We also were learning print art in maths. I started off with some maths because I brain doesn't  work as well when its the afternoon. next up I did some writing and we had to ask some questions about a sport and a friend had to answer the questions. Reading and Genius Hour. It was a great day back with Mrs Allan.
This Is My Table from Today . . .
