Submarines and Divers
We made these creative submarines and divers to travel under the sea.
First we drew designs of our vessels or divers.
Next we found the materials we would need.
We glued rectangular prisms, cones and cylinders together using strong glue and masking tape.
We then had to cover the whole creation with white paper. This step made the model very strong and also gave a good surface to paint.
Finally we painted our vessels and divers and added the finishing touches.
In Term 4 we will be using our submarines and deep sea divers to go DEEP, DEEP into the abyss and travel back in time to when dinosaurs roamed the earth.
We can’t wait for this adventure to begin!
What do you think we will see and hear?
A Sea of Words
A Sea of Words on PhotoPeach
We made a tagxedo using sea words. We chose sea creature shapes to publish our words in.
Book Week Goggles
After reading “The Deep End” a short-listed book for the Book Week awards for 2011 we made these under-water goggles.
Aren’t they colourful?
Have you read any other books where you would need to wear goggles?
What were they called?
