My current project and some old photos

Today is going to be another hot one here in my part of the world. 

It will be 40 Celsius here and that means in Fahrenheit 104! 

So I am sitting here creating with the air-conditioner on and plenty of nice cool drinks.

I am currently working on a 'Workers in our Community Unit' and again playing around with Interactive Notebook pages. 

As a Melonheadz addict (I am proudly number 18) I just love using her graphics and having them in color as well a black and white. 

They just make what I do pop. 

The pack is already 150 pages long and I haven't even added the math part yet!

I am hoping to have it done by tonight and will be asking for two proof readers on my face book page. If you proof read this for me, I will send you the completed project as a gift and my many thanks.

Don't forget to go on over to my facebook fan page to pick up a freebie for Chinese New Year. See yesterdays post. 

I just found these photos below - in the rush at the end of the year - I misplaced them. 

Our Christmas Fair - is made by our kids for our kids. 

It is gorgeously daggy and heaps of fun. 

Our kids bring about $5 and buy gifts for family and friends.  

Here are a few photos.

There is also a rare photo of me - dressed in a Christmas outfit.

Just a bit of craft....

Don't you just love this time of the year?

Craft, craft and more craft.

These would make a great display, but with only 5 days of school left, by the time the display is done - we would need to take it down. 

Our school year finishes next week. 

School starts again late January and we will have new grades.

I will not have the same year level next year, hopefully by the end of the week I will be able to share where I am going.

Tree Toppers

This task is for our Christmas Fair. 

Our kids make something and have a class stall and sell the items. 

It is such a gorgeous morning - and seeing people buy our work is lovely. 

This amazing star  - we decorated with colour and glitter. 

You can never have enough glitter at this time of the year!

(Sorry Helen - our hard working cleaner)

When they had finished decorating, we then taped the cone shape at the bottom - they are great  tree toppers.

Candy Canes

You need stamina - patience and marbles. I think I lost mine doing this task.

I forgot to cover the table and didn't remember the art smocks until more than half my kids had red paint on themselves.

We placed a candy cane in a box lid, had marbles covered in red paint, placed them in the box and then gently rolled the marbles (some were not so gentle) around the box and hey presto - candy canes. 

When they were dry, we cut them out and placed them on red card.

Reindeers

The face of the reindeer is a tracing of our kids feet.

The antlers are hands.

We glued goggle eyes and a sparkly pom pom for the nose.

Then we put a little glitter on the end of each antler.

Cute

What craft will be next?

Stay tuned......

Christmas Fair

Today we had our Annual Christmas Fair. Our students make and promote their goods for sale to sell to our students and families. The weather was great and in our double teaching space we made cards and stars at 20c each. We sold all our goods and had a great time selling and buying things from other stalls.
