After we drew the pictures we took a Harry Potter quiz to see which Hogwarts house we would fit in. We were sorted into Ravenclaw! That meant that we were really clever, because that is what they are known for.
then looked at facts about J K Rowling. She's 50 years old, has three children and lives in Scotland. She is the author of Harry Potter and she started writing with a napkin and a pen in a cafe.. She was born in 1965 and her first book was published in 1997. J K Rowling had decided to give Harry Potter the same birthday as her, which is the 31st of July. She wrote 7 Harry Potter books and they've been so popular that they have been turned into movies.
After our research we made Harry Potter models of the symbols in the books. We made a wand, a sorting hat, a broomstick, his glasses, his scar and his owl, Hedwig. We made them out of Jovi clay and we had to squash the clay to make it softer. We used techniques like rolling the clay into a sausage, blending the joins, pinching it and bending the clay.

Wow Room 6 you must be really clever to find out all those facts about JK Rowling. Sounds like you had fun making all those wizardry things, did anyone make a spell?
ReplyDeleteHi Miss Brough! We had great fun making wands but there were no spells. Perhaps we can make a wand and go to Hogwarts to learn how to cast a spell on Miss Walters and turn her into a toad! Hehehe
