Making our paper mache 'wild things'.

Last month room 6 did paper mache. We watched a slideshow on the internet. Then room six looked in a book called 'Where The Wild Things Are'. First room six rolled newspaper in a ball. Then we put the masking tape on. Next we did paper mache. We put the arms and legs on. It was fun making the paper mache. My eyes are going to be googly. I would like to make another one. Nate

Room 6 has been doing paper mache. First we looked at a book. Second we rolled some newspaper into a ball and then we put the arms and legs on. Then we put the tissue paper on. Next we got room 12 to help us. I had big bulgy eyes and I painted my body red. Nathen

Similes in Poetry

We are learning how to create similes for our poetry. We need to use the words like or as to compare two things.
Here are Room 6's 'Wild Things' poetry using similes.

And eat rotten skin
