On Monday 24 of June, Room7 and with the help of Gabby O' Conner, an artist, made part of an ice shelf out of tissue paper.
Gabby came to MCS with a scientist who had been to Antartica 6 times. WOW! Gabby told us that he would help us if we had a question, of course he would probably know the answer to our question. He is a amazing man by far.
We were given tasks that include gathering 6 different shapes each and finding another group with a stapler so we could share. First we found our buddy and then we found a place to sit with enough room to lay all 12 bits of tissue paper on the ground.
Next we set the paper into space so it would fit in the gaps. After that we stapled the paper together so all the tabs were facing upwards.
Once we were finished we had to find another group that had finished too. We had to connect the 24 bits of paper together make a larger ice shelf. Then we had to find ANOTHER group to connect with them and then we kept on adding and adding.
After all that stapling we ended up making the hugest ice - shelf ever. We put the ice-shelf up on the wall and it looks amazing.While people were doing that some people got to see her sketch books and look at some photos of what she had also made earlier on.
We only get to have it in our class for two days and that's a huge bummer! Well, at least we can still see our beautiful art for 2 more days!!!
Gabby said that our art was going to be displayed in an art exhibition and we were all invited! We heard the first 100 children get a ice block.
We think Gabby will take all the work and stick them together so that it will make the sculpture amazing.
We hope she can come back again to show us more. Luckily her daughter goes to our school so Gabby might as well come back to our school to teach us more.
