How to make Model Bugs
Tiare: Our class made model insects. We got into three groups. We spread the green sticky plastic and then we scrunched it up with the newspaper for our body and head.
Ryder: I scrunched up plaster to make the body. I put plaster on it.
Aurora: Using plaster, we made legs and a head and a body for our insect. We made legs by rolling the paper then wrapping it in the green stuff ready to plaster. We stuck the legs to the body with masking tape.
Elise: Once the legs were stuck on we took our insects outside to paint them.
Moss: It was very hard to take them outside because their legs kept falling off.
Gene: We sat underneath the Pohutukawa trees so we could paint them.
Oasis: We had to share the paint.
Ashlyn: It was very messy.
Elise: We worked together as a team to paint them.
Rangitamoe: We hung the bugs on the tree with a piece of rope, so that they could dry.
Carl: Some people had to watch the bugs at lunchtime to make sure know one touched them.
Heath: When it was home time, Mrs M asked us if she could take them home to put the shiny vanish on them.
