Week 11 Term 1 2018 This week, we have all been very excited about our investigations as they have been about the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games. The children used pipe cleaners to make their athletes. They chose the sport they wanted to represent and then came up with a creative way to make their pipe cleaner athlete perform the sport. We used modelling clay to help the “athletes” stand. The children made gymnasts, weightlifters, soccer players, rugby sevens players, amateur boxers, swimmers, a netball player, cyclists, a javelin thrower, and an athlete performing the long jump. We are super proud of the time and care the children took when making their athletes. The children also made their own gold, silver and bronze medals and wore them with pride. Here are some close up photos of the children's athletes in action.
