We have displayed our flowers made using recycled materials on the fence on the back field. The bright colours we used were inspired by flowers in real life - their bright colours attract bees and other insects to them so pollination can occur. Our plastic bottle flowers don't need pollen, but we hope that the bright colours will attract PEOPLE to the back field to play and have fun.
I really like the way the children have chosen a contrasting colour as the centre of their flower.
Well done, team. A wonderful end to a great project!
We will post our instructions for creating these flowers soon. We are learning how to construct a procedural text and are using the flower project to help guide our learning.
These bottles are amazing!! Did you paint them? We think the paint might not stick to the plastic bottles...

Hi Julia and Shaz
DeleteThank you for replying to us.
We did have lots of fun but it made us tired.

I love these Weka. Thank you so much for showing me the instructions on how to make them and then taking me down and showing me them on the fence. Do you think you will make any more?

Hi Suzy, We think we might make some more but we will need to collect more bottles first.
