Clocks

In Week 7 we had a Technology Day to make our clocks. It was a fanatstic day, and we think our clocks look awesome! A big thank you to all the parents who came in and helped us.

3. Get a protractor and mark out 1-12 all around your clock.


4. Paint a big blob where the numbers 12,3,6,9 are going to be. Let it dry and do a second coat if you would like.


5. Where your blobs of paint are put the numbers starting from the top in order for 12,3,6 then 9.


6. Find the marks for 1,2,4,5,7,8,10 and 11 then hot glue the crystals on.


7. In the middle do a mini circle and put any for colors on it. Let it dry.
