Week 9 - The day of the red paint!


The show is beginning to take some sort of shape... All the ideas we started last week are now coming together. In the case of the dinosaur - literally! Leonie introduced us to a special glue called InstaBond for sticking foam. It is a two part bond and after spreading the glue you spray it with what looks like water and then the foam sticks almost instantly! The dinasoar is gaining size as the legs sproing along with the children taking care of a leg each and a neck which stertches as it walks.


We painted the town red - well at least the bus! Its got windows and handles for holding. We just have to work out which is the front and which is the back.

The bird group set to work on creating a wedge tailed eagle with some great ideas on how to make the wings. Our stories are having closer examination and the mysterious notion that all our creatures lay eggs is an exciting idea to add to our bus journey.


It took a combined effort from almost everyone to get the five sections all painted. A special thanks to Cherie and Liam for the clear up job afterwards.


With four weeks to countdown, we are growing larger and larger, the excitement is building and the hairs on our necks are quivering.
