Grade 2 - 3 Update


Grade Two/Three have been looking at the properties of different materials and how to change them to suit different purposes.
We watched a video from The Orb website and Miss Munro shared the knowledge passed to her from her elders around basket making and twining. The boys in this picture have made a model of a type of watercraft built by Palawa people in Tasmania.
We also had the challenge of making a basket in which you could carry a piece of fruit. The collection and preparation of the materials is very important. If it is not done properly the reeds will curl and be hard to use. The reeds need to have the cellular structure broken down and made pliable before they can be used.
