Loom Bands @ Blaxland Library

Clever kids made all sorts of loom band patterns today at Blaxland Library. Have a look at some of the colourful creations below:

Real Life Plants Vs Zombies!

Today we staged a wild game of Plants Vs Zombies in Katoomba Library - check it out! 

First we chose what team we wanted to be on, Plants or Zombies. Then, the kids made a mask reflecting the character they wanted to be. 

I placed fluorescent-coloured rocks and sticks on the ground to mark out the boundaries of our game, and put on PvZ music to set the scene. 

Soft green foam balls were the 'peas', which peashooters threw at the approaching zombies. 

Minecraft Class at Springwood Library

Have a look at these FANTASTIC Minecraft heads made today by some creative kids @ Springwood Library! 

Minecraft heads:

*For these I bought cardboard mail package boxes from Officeworks

*We used coloured paper, scissors and glue-sticks to create the character designs

*I had a Stanley knife to cut square eyeholes for those who wanted them

Diamond swords and pickaxes:

*I printed two sword or pickaxe designs on thin card board

*Children cut the two symmetrical designs out, taped popsicle sticks inside for strength, and then glued the two pieces together. 

Papercraft:

*I printed off a few different paper craft cubes out (chest, dirt/grass block, diamond block) and kids cut and taped (or glued) them together.
