           The Sneaky "White Mouse"
                      Term 2 Wk 7

This Week we have been learning about an amazing woman, Nancy Wake. She was 1 in 7,000 men! To fight in world war 2
Nancy Wake, was a New Zealand secret agent.Nancy had an old truck and transformed it into an ambulance.But one day the Germans realized that someone was whispering their plans to the allies. They had people try track "her" down. But  because she had multiple identities, it was difficult for the Germans and they had no proof. They code-named Nancy 
The "White Mouse". Because she was as sneaky as a mouse.
Nancy Wake joined the residence and was soon able to reach herself at the top of the "Most WANTED!" list. She would be hunted down whenever spotted. In her own safety Nancy jumped out of a moving train! Nancy Wake was decorated in multiple bravery and courage medals. Nancy Wake was sure an amazing woman. 

Would YOU jump out of a moving train? 

Clay Art

                             Clay Art
                       Term 2 Week 5

In Week 5 we made clay art wall hangings that relate to Maori or our family.We used air dry modelling clay, and we used our hands to warm up and soften the clay,so it would be easier to work with. Once the clay was soft enough, we started to mold the clay using Popsicle-like sticks to make patterns in the clay and to get a smoother finish.It took a week for the clay to fully harden. Any sooner the clay would crack and become weak and it would be hard for it to be hung.
