Rapunzel

Rapunzel
Today the year 4,5 and 6's went to see a show called Rapunzel. We were all very excited and I couldn't sit still.
It was about Rapunzel auditioning Far Far away's got talent with X factor idol. Simon Cow which was played by Jack liked Rapunzel who was called Jane. It was really funny to watch.
Then Rapunzel got locked in the tower by Simon Cow and then Price Rupert played by Ben came to the rescue. 
My favorite bit was when Prince Rupert singing very badly.

Wearable Art

Monday
We had difficulty cutting the bubble wrap for our skirt since my scissors got jammed in the bubble wrap.
We found out that a train looked better than the our previous plan so we changed the look immediately.
The most challenging part was waiting forever for a glue gun because there weren't many glue gun station.
I really enjoyed making the bracelet because it was fun gluing the feathers on.
 
Tuesday
  • Finish skirt
  • Start top
  • Make more props  
 
Wednesday
Yesterday we completed the skirt and the props because we have been helping each other. We had difficulty with gluing little sequels individually and folding the newspaper fans. We found out that it took a long time to glue on the sequels but it was worth it. Working in a group was much faster because there are 2 people instead of 1.
Our outfit reflects our element because the feathers stick out like flames. The Torbay Learning Model
helps us because it helped us to be more creative

Thursday
Overall I feel great about my outfit because it is more sophisticated than the plan.
The biggest success was when I was making the decorations in the little eggs containers without getting burnt.
My most enjoyable part was when I was making loads of props like necklaces, bracelets, rings and belts.
The hardest part was trying not to get burnt when doing the little egg decorations because it was very small and the glue went through the ribbon when I was pushing it down.
If I was to do this again I would help Jasmine more with the skirt because the skirt took a long time by herself.
I have learnt how to glue little things like beads and sequels on.
