Term 4 Week 2

Fantastic Friday

Last Friday, we did Fantastic Friday with the year 3,4,5 and 6 Abimbola I did African bead work. There is a lot of activities on Fantastic Friday such as Glee, Bollywood Dance, Sewing wool crafts, Vintage games, Cool Science, Traditional sports, Ukulele and African Bead work, Abimbola and I chose the African Bead work.

First, Abimbola and I went to Room 14 where we met Mrs Howard their was a lot of people there and she taught us about the African Bead Work, we watched a few pictures, we learned that in old days, African people use natural things to make necklaces and bracelets etc. such as animal fur/skin, dried leaves, stones, shells etc. 

Then, Mrs Howard showed us some bead work that the pass students had made it, it was really pretty, Mrs Howard wants us to make bead work on the Christmas themes, she showed us some examples about the bead work on Christmas theme, there is star, Christmas trees and reindeer etc. Abimbola and I chose a star, we had to sketch it out on the paper to make the template. We're going to do the next step which is doing the beads.

Overall I have enjoyed the Fantastic Friday, I am really looking forward to do this again next week, it has been a really fun day doing African bead work and to learn about Africa.
