One
Tuesday afternoon, Mrs Fallon, our 5th class teacher, told us
to collect some vegetables at home and bring them in on Friday, for we
were going to make vegetable people.
We
were quite excited after seeing the ones that fifth class made last year.
So
on Friday morning we all brought in our vegetables. We were really
looking forward to after lunch when we would do art.
When
break was over, teacher started to explain to us that we weren’t
supposed to stab each other with the knife or cocktail sticks that we had
brought in.
She
then said that she trusted us not to do so, and so the work began.
We
had brought in two potatoes, one for the head and one for the body.
We stuck the two potatoes together with the cocktail sticks then stuck
eyes and the mouth etc onto the head.
We
also stuck arms and legs on, as well as other parts. For all these
parts we used various vegetables and foods such as parsnips, carrots and
even a tortilla wrap.
Liam
used a tortilla wrap for a cloak on his. I used a piece of cabbage for a
hat and carrots for the arms and legs. One boy used green peppers
for the arms and Mark stuck a mushroom on top of his mans head.
Natasha
used a spring onion for the mouth and some people made arms by sticking
many single slices of carrots to a cocktail stick. When we had done
this we had made our vegetable men.
We
then took the finished product out to the corridor where we put them on a
table and Master McDonnell photographed them. When he had finished
photographing them, some children brought them to different classes to
show.
We
really enjoyed making them. At home time, we brought them home to
show to our parents.
