Just One Earth

The children in Room 5 are learning about different cultures and people in our world. We have been talking about how we are the same and how we are different. We are also learning to respect others in our world, after all - we have just one earth!

Our Egg People

Yesterday me and my class were making a egg person. The way we did it was you get googly eyes, then draw your mouth and nose. Then you have to get cotton wool, then you put in three drops of water. It was awesome! - Kelvin

Yesterday Room 5 did some egg people. They have a mouth and hair. We used fluff and seeds. - Tami

I like it. It is cool. We glued google eyes on it. I named it Zoe! - Jasmine
On Tuesday Room 5 made egg shells. My beautiful egg’s name is Fred. He is growing his hair. I love my egg! - Lucas



Yesterday Room 5 made some drama egg heads but I had fun and that’s what matters isn’t it. The egg shells were empty as you saw. In the holidays we will be able to take them home. My egg is called Raina. Before we can take them home we put a nose and mouth on them, then we put the google eyes on them. We put the cottonwool in the drama egg head. - Gemma

Yesterday we made little funny eggs. I called mine Natalie. Many of them were the same. Some of the people had big eyes but my egg had small eyes. We put some seeds in to make funny hair. The seeds will grow and grow and grow. We put cotton wool under the seeds. The seeds were orange. The eggs were very breakable. My egg was precious to me. We had egg holders so our eggs will stay standing. I like my special egg – my fantastic egg! - Kayla

Yesterday Room 5 made some egg plants. We could name them. We used materials to make them, like googly eyes, felt tip pens, egg shells, glue egg holders – stuff like that. Do you know what I called mine? – Kia. I like that name. Also the seeds inside the egg shell will turn into green hair. - Cameron




Yesterday Room 5 made Easter plants. We got to give it a name. I named my one Rose Mount. Some have big googly eyes. The glue was very sticky. We had to put water and seeds and cotton wool in the egg shells. They will grow in a couple of days. The eggs will have funky hair. We have a egg holder to hold it. They will look beautiful. I can’t wait to take it home. - Paris

In April we made easter eggs. It felt fragile and it is sprouting hair. We had to name it and it was beautiful. We gave it googly eyes. When we finish it we can take it home. - Zac
On Monday Room 5 made egg people. These are the things we needed - we needed a hollow shell, seeds, messy glue stick, white soft cotton wool and lots of googly eyes. We made a nose and mouth. - Olivia

On Tuesday Room 5 made egg people. I enjoyed making egg people because Room 5 used eggs. First we had to wait for the teacher to call your name. Then you had to get a broken or cracked egg and two eyes and go to your table and draw a nose and a mouth. Then you had to put some cotton wool inside the egg and some seeds and three drops of water. - Cassie

On Tuesday Room 5 made some egg shell people that looked like us. We put seeds and cotton wool and lots of other things. The best and most fun part was when we got to see it grow! - Logan
