Year 6 - blue tailed gecko
Blue-tailed Gecko Class - Year six. The Blue-tailed Gecko does an extraordinary job and is a most unusual pollinator. Having named our classes after pollinators, once we started investigating about the Blue-tailed Gecko it was clear that this gecko thinks it is a bee!
The Blue-tailed Gecko, so named because it has an amazing blue tail, was a real challenge to re-create using clay. The models were made in stages, sketches, shape making, clay techniques to attach legs and then painting. The finished geckos have accurate markings and the distinctive blue tail. Keep an eye on our sway and Twitter for snapshots of our learning.
