Interactive Writing - A Poem

Today we were reading our poem for the week about making popcorn and we noticed that it was organised in a special way.
We called the organisation: "Instruction, then sound words" and we had a go at writing a poem like that about making our cardboard prints.
Here it is:
Cardboard Print
Get out the cardboard.
Flippety, flippety flip.

Cut with the scissors.
Snippety, snippety, snip.

Spread the glue.
Splishety, splishety, splish.

Stick on the shapes.
Sticky, sticky, stick.

Put the cardboard block on the shelf to dry.
And wait…. and wait….
Now get ready to print.

Roll the roller in the ink.
Rollety, rollety roll.

Roll the roller on the block.
Bumpety, bumpety, bump.

Put the paper on the block…
and roll… and roll…
Now lift the paper off.
Wow!

Art - Print making

Last week we made blocks for cardboard prints, and on Friday, we finally got to see the finished result.
We can watch Grady and Jack as they print pictures from their blocks.
The subject of our pictures this time was a house. We were thinking about adding details.

Sharing our art - cardboard prints

Over the last few weeks, we have been working on making the blocks for these cardboard prints and now we have finally printed them all.
A big thank you to Joel's mum for helping us with the printing.
In the slideshow, some of the pictures have both the block and the print, so we can see how the print mirrors the block.
That's why, when people put a letter on the front for their name, they had to do them back to front.
