The Legs

Today we continued with our table. We focused on our legs. We made 120 rolls of newspaper. There is going to be 40 rolls in each leg. We have made 3 legs. We also went to the pizza box man and we got millions of circles and two pieces of big cardboard. The pictures above are of us working:

Rolling the News

Today at Enrich Pippa and I rolled newspapers for the legs of our table. When we had finished rolling and taping for the day, we had made twenty sticks and we had forty more to go. We used paper tape for the middle newspaper sticks and we are going to use this strong clear tape for the outside sticks. We are on our way to finishing it but we still have a long way to go.

Recycled Furniture

Today Isabella, Pippa and I started our project on recycling furniture. Isabella's Mum had done it before for the Southland Disability Enterprise's foyer. The furniture was amazing! She took us to see it and it was even more amazing there than in the pictures. Then she took us to see the man who gave her the cardboard for the couch and one of the chairs. The man made pizza boxes and had lots of leftover cardboard. He also had lots of these leftover circles. Then Anais joined our group and we decided that we'd make a table with the table top made out of stacked cardboard painted white with circles glued on top painted different colours and newspaper legs.

Science

Today at science they did stuff on electricity but I wasn't there because I had ballet practice. It sounded like lots of fun and I'm disappointed I missed it. Today we also did our goals. My goals were to know where my book was each week and to get more done in a day. I hope that by the end of the term I will have mastered those goals and will be able to do them easily next term.
