Pom-Pom creatures

We have been working on somethings called pom-pom creatures.
Our first step was:
1. Cut out 2 cardboard circles with holes in the middle that were the right size we needed.
2. Second we got the colour wool that we wanted and we put the 2 pieces of cardboard together then started winding the wool around the cardboard circles-this took a while!
3.After we had wound the wool around 14-15 times we cut between the middle of the 2 circles and tied it tightly with a piece of string
4. DECORATION TIME!!!,we decorated the creature so it looked like an animal of our choice.

                          

Caitlin's advertising


In the class at the moment we are working on advertising, We all got given a product or a company, Now we have to re-create the logo, slogan, jingle and if it's a drink or food flavour! I got given 'Powerade' and have to create a new flavour. I have decided to call it 'Imortal force' it will be a toxic green colour and taste like sour melon, (Don't worry it's already a flavour in Australia so it won't taste as bad as it sounds)
