Welcome to Rata Robotland

We have had a wonderful week creating robots. We came up with our design ideas and then we tried them out. We had to make some modifications because of the shape of the boxes. We then had to wrap all our boxes in paper or tinfoil. We then painted and added lots of recycled materials to create our spectacular robots. We are looking forward to writing stories about our robot adventures.

Welcome to Rata

This week we have begun to make our robots. We are lucky enough to have a new member in our class   for the next week. He has created a lot of excitement and is a stunning robot. Meet our class dalek.

St Patrick's School Fair

We have been busy painting pots in Rata to sell at the school fair. First we had to paint the pots white and wait for them to dry. Then we thought about the colours and design we wanted to paint on our pot. We looked at lots of other pots to get ideas. After we had painted our design on we looked at everyone else's pots to get some more ideas. Then we added more detail to our own pot including glitter and sparkles. Then Mrs McRandle sprayed the pots with some stinky clear spray paint to make the pots shiny. Last of all we put a beautiful pansy plant in our pots. We think they look spectacular and hope they all sell at the fair.

They are $5.00 each and made with lots of enthusiasm.
