On Tuesday, Room 6 and 7 had an idea by making clothes using plastic paint and cardboard and other recycled materials we brought from home. We are going to have a fashion show on Thursday, starting with some of the Room 6 people who were working in Room 7. Some of the Room 7 worked in Room 6. I was making a queen outfit. We started making our clothes on Tuesday afternoon. It was like recycling and reusing plastic to make something we can wear.
While I was making my queen dress I needed an idea. I used my chrome book for ideas. There were so many ideas. I started to get some materials like glitter materials and I started using pva glue but it wouldn’t stick so I used tape which was easier.
Later, Mr Bell said we could use paint so I added paint to my dress. After that I left my dress somewhere safe for it to dry. While it was trying to dry I helped Marii and Roland paint. First I helped Marii make her lion and after that I helped Roland paint his panda. My shirt was getting dirty so I tried not to be more careful. My dress still wasn’t dried yet!!!
Then I found cardboard to make a crown and I cut a piece of cardboard. I taped it like a circle, I painted the front yellow to make it a little gold and at the back I painted it pink because pink is my favourite colour. I covered my crown and dress using a piece of plastic to let it dry. After that the bell rang for morning tea. I didn’t want to eat because I wanted to continue. When the bell rang I came back to Room 7 and my dress and my crown was dry. Hooray!! So I put it on but something was missing. It was the back of me. The shoulder part kept going down so I tied the shoulder part and now it was better. I used a plastic bag for my dress. It was amazing.
The fashion show started in the afternoon on Thursday so we had time. It wasn’t easy, I thought it was easy, it was Hard! Now it was Thursday in the morning and after prayers, Room 6 went to room 7 to do some about organising for the fashion show. After lunch time we put on our clothes and it was show time!! People had turns in categories to walk past all the other children in the school!! Finally it was my turn. I was really proud and happy for myself. I couldn’t stop laughing because people kept shouting. I was proud and happy that all our hard work was being celebrated. What a great week.
