Soap Carving

This week we have been learning about adding depth into our art, how to manipulate soap to give carvings a 3D appearance. We have had fun trying out different tools to carve with, settling on using skewers for our final product. Check out some of our designs.

Kiwiana Flashmob

Mrs. Keenan was playing some very old music over the speakers this week, so Room 7 & 8 decided to show her how it was really done! We sung the chorus of three songs, Ten Guitars, Gumboots and Alice. We managed to sneak into the office without her hearing us until we started singing.
