Today we made a Christmas thingy. First we had to draw our reindeer and use pastel to colour it in. Then we dyed a piece of paper blue. Then we glued glitter to the blue paper and stuck a bottle cap on as well. We hot glued the bottle cap and hot glued our reindeer. We got a string and put it on the reindeer. We use paint to make it look like light.  When we were done that we wrote Merry Christmas on our paper.

With mrs Siau we got to choose an app to make New Zealand on. My group Tajbir, Henry, Aiden and Uday. We included the big carrot the glow worm caves the kiwi, kakapo and tūī. The big Carrot this is the glow worm caves this is the kakapo with L p this is the tūī
