5S this wee...



This week 5S looked at images of the floating Island called Thilafushi in the Maldives, and we discussed the problem of what to do with the huge amounts of waste and rubbish that we all throw away every single day across the world. 
5S are  reading the Iron Woman by Ted Hughes, which is also about these issues.
They spent the first half of the morning making these fabulous drawings of big piles of rubbish. 



We started out by doing some warm-up drawings with charcoal, some left and right-handed ones and also 2 minute drawings.



Then we went on to work on some more detailed drawings of objects piled on top of and in front of each other...



thinking about how certain objects are partly hidden.






Then 5S designed their own weird and wonderful machines... thinking about what they would do. These ones are  robotic 'guard pets'.




This machine swims underwater.


These 'Fling Pants' will fly through space...


This flying machine has an invisability device and internet connections!


Another space travelling machine...



And the Flying Shoe machine!
