Billy Yirawala is a hit in 6W!

Wow! What a wonderful week it has been in 6W! Each and every child has made progress and created some amazing work… Our history, geography and art skills have improved immensely and we now have some aboriginal specialists in the classroom! It has been wonderful to see the children experiment with their art; who knew wax and woodwork could be so fun!

Check out what our class reporters have created below:

    The highlight of my week was that we had to be careful with the hot wax as it could burn us and than we had created masterpiece with wax and they are resistant. When we put water-colour paints over the wax, the wax resisted the water-colour from going on it. The BH values we used were: Tenacity, Resilience, teamwork, imagination, and creativity, we used these by using our imagination to create an Aboriginal design and we never gave up. We also did etching on a block of wood, which was very tricky but managed to get through with it using teamwork. The skill I used was crosshatching to add detail as the Aborigines had used crosshatching for their art wood, which would tell stories.

    The highlight of my art around the world week was using that really hot water to get a design on some piece of paper and using the wax and painting over it. I used perseverance as I kept messing up all the wax designs in areas.
