Robot Junk Sculptures

These junk sculptures were created by my grade 4 and 5 classes a couple of years ago using recycled materials.

Once constructed the robots were decorated using silver and gold spray paint, glitter, sequins, wire, aluminum foil and other recycled bits and pieces.

This was a great open ended task which resulted in so many fantastic individual sculptures. 

 I only wish I had more photos of these!

I love this wheelchair robot!

Shooting Stars

Grade 1s made these cool shooting stars as part of a classroom integrated unit of work on outer space. I set up star shaped cookie cutters on a tray of silver glitter glue and asked students to stamp 3 or 4 stars onto one side of their black paper. When glitter glue was dry I showed them how to add curved lines for sweeping tails. They then had fun colouring the tails with chalk pastels.
