Totem poles - the finished article

Over the last term, we have been creating totem poles. In the beginning we were split into groups and provided with a plain totem pole base. The groups were Lions and Elephants - our class mascots.

The Lion group thought it was suitable to make a Lion King totem pole - there were 7 of us working on this project. We split into pairs to complete each section of the totem pole. Dylan and Bradley created Simba. Kaia and Corey created Pumba. Krysta and Cally created Timon. And finally, Sienna created a Rhino. Kaia stated, "The lion was the hardest to make because Miss Williams gave us a challenge to make a really tricky mouth out of papier mache - but we achieved it!" The final product looks amazing, check it out below:

The Elephants totem pole was based on Classical Disney. The characters we decided to use were: Dumbo, Jiminy Cricket, the dragon from Sleeping Beauty and Mickey Mouse. We started by planning and drawing on the pole, then we painted. Finally we attached the 3D features which you can see below in our picture. Max and Ben created Dumbo, Chloe and Meadow created Jiminy Cricket, Hattie and Grace created the dragon and Harry and Beau created Mickey Mouse. Our end result was awesome!
