Creating a sculpture by Lupe

Last term Morris class went to the Botanic gardens where we saw some sculptures. We thought of a great amazing idea for own sculpture. Then we packed our bags and went back to school.

We thought how to make our own sculpture. We used chicken wire, bottle tops, plastic bags and paint. The girls were weaving at the back and the boys were drilling and putting bottle tops on top of the wire. Ms Botica gave us a big sack of bottle tops.  In the holidays our sculpture went into the garden and it looked wonderful and amazing. It was a surprise for me because I wasn’t there on Thursday. It’s going to be even better on Friday because we are going to go around the school and look at all of the sculptures. I think Anni Morris was the one that gave us the idea of making a sculpture. People said it looked amazing. It’s our taonga of Hay Park School. Whenever I play I always see Morris classes sculpture.

Giant Octopus by Joseph

Giant Pacific Octopus

 In the deep, deep, coral reef, there lives a giant octopus. It has suckers to grab its prey. Also it has strong arms that have a good grip. The octopus has no bones. It only has cartilage.

Octopus  are not fierce but they eat small prey like shrimp.  They don’t take over ships.

They are smart creatures. The octopus is intelligent because it can learn things from other people.

It sucks water then it pushes the water through its gill slit so it can move.
