CRICKET WORLD CUP
ROOM 1 AND ROOM 5 MAKE CRICKET SHIRTS!

Room 5 and 1 got together and worked on making Cricket Shirts for the children from Room 1.  Room 5 children were responsible for getting the ideas from the Year 2, Room 1 children, drawing them on their design plan, and ensuring that the original design ended up on the finished shirt.  Everyone was on task and loved the whole project.  Room 1 children wrote some stories too.  Here are some pictures and stories...

My buddy’s name is a country’s name, it is Paris.  She was so nice.  I liked the way she asked me what patterns I wanted on my T-shirt. I felt nervous at the start but at the end I felt awesome.  Paris really helped me and gave me heaps of ideas.  She told me what countries there were.  I had to show her how to draw swirls because she hasn’t done them in a long time.  The T-shirts could actually fit us!

There were lots of patterns on my T-shirt.  Our buddies had to measure us so that they know how much they needed to cut.  It felt a bit funny.  Today our buddies are dyeing them.  Tomorrow they are coming back to our classroom to finish our T-shirts.  by Lily 

I am very nervous.  My buddy is coming from Room 5.  When he came into the classroom he had a bit of paper in his hand.  He made a shirt and he is a good drawer.  My name will be there on the back of my t-shirt.  He put a trophy on my T-shirt.  Room 5 are going to paint it today.  They are coming back on Friday to colour it in.  by Rylee

Rylee is very happy with his shirt.  What a great team Hawaiki and Rylee made.

I was excited when I saw our buddies.  I forgot my buddy’s name but I will ask him tomorrow.  We designed a cricket shirt.  It had kiwis on it.  I had my name on the back.  I enjoyed making a T-shirt with my buddy.
