Harry Potter week for 8 to 12s

Continuing the theme of My World we had Harry Potter week for the 8 to 12 year olds this week. We read some of the place descriptions in the books noting the words used, especially all the adjectives and mental pictures they create. Some chose to write their own descriptive passages then, while others got straight to work on their ragdolls, mono-printing, button sewing and drawing. Things were so busy there was very little time for picture taking, but here are a few to give a flavour of Monday's creativity.

Ragdolls

The 8 to 12 years class developed today from a look at the making of the Coraline movie to a ragdoll making session. There were also some great fabric collages, bags and even a t-shirt for a cat produced. Looking forward to finishing the dolls and seeing what is created next week.
