Ice candles

2nd stick the tall candles in the cartons and put ice around the candles

3rd The adult can pour the hot wax into the cartons and wait 24hrs

POP ART Composition

 Today we made our pop art, we had to use the tool "Art colouring book" it was so fun and quick we had to pretend the we were at our houses in the summer holidays so nobody was allowed to talk.

We had to watch all the videos that were on our class blog and then we started to colour.

This was the site we used Art Colouring Book:

I chose this one at the bottom because it looked really funky and kind of crazy.

It was tricky to choose a photo to colour in.
