In room 21 we have been exploring the reasons why people wear adornments such as jewellery in different cultures. We have found out that there are a range of reasons why people wear jewellery, and in particular necklaces. Some wear them to enhance how they look, while others believe that the jewels and precious metals help keep them safe, and yet others wear necklaces to tell a story.
We decided that we would have a go at making necklaces to put into the Art Attack as a fundraiser for the school.
Below are some photos of the process we went through as we made beads and then designed our necklaces.
Photos of the completed necklaces are below as well.

DESIGNING LUNCHTIME GAMES!
Room 21 writers have been busy learning about instructional (procedure) writing and to show case their skills, they decided it would be great to design some lunchtime games for year 1 and 2 children to play at school.
They got into groups and brainstormed some ideas, then raided the PE shed to test their ideas out. Here are some photos of them testing their games.
The next step will be for each group to write a procedure and take photos so that the Year one and two children can learn and use the games they created to play at lunchtime. At Red Beach School, we call this 'Making a Difference'!
