Tuhituhi/STEM - Character & Diary writing

Over the past two weeks we have been making characters and bringing them to life. First, we planned their personalities, appearance and experiences. Then, we created them using polystyrene balls, hot glue, tooth picks, googly eyes, pom poms, paint, wool and pipe cleaners. After, we wrote a diary based on the perspective and experiences our character had during the day. 

A few examples of what our characters like to do in a day are, art and getting creative, going to the lego supermarket, making new friends, playing handball and other games, eating lots of yummy and healthy food and then going to bed at the end of the day in their 'houses' made by us. 
This has been a fun and enjoyable experience and we will bringing our characters home for the holidays to meet our whānau.
