JAPAN!!!

We live there...we love there!!!

 Children love to rip, to cut and to glue more than anything!
This collage of Japanese print paper was the perfect opportunity to start our Geography lesson from Japan.

We learnt about the NORTH (Hokkaido), the NORTHEAST (Sendai), SOUTHWEST and SOUTH (Okinawa)

We live in Japan 
We love Japan
The capital city is Tokyo

And we live there.

Do you like the cold?
Do you like the snow?
Then go up north
To Hokkaido.

With lots of food,
Go to Sendai, north east.
Eat Zunda & cow tongue
For a real feast!

If you go south west,
You can see history.
With temples & castles
In each city.

Down in the south,
Is sunny Okinawa.
It’s always hot;
You can swim every hour.

We live in Japan 
We love Japan
The capital city is Tokyo
And we live there.

China! ~Canvas lantern decorations~

 We decided to make some lanterns for our China theme involving many textures.

The first stage was decorating the canvas - we chose the night sky and added sequins for stars.

The lanterns themselves were made from origami paper cut into shapes ranging from rectangles to pants (!).

We made our own puffy paint using flour and salt and food colouring to add a more 3D effect to our work.

They all looked amazing mounted onto the wall together!
