Go the Irish!

Point View School did Wearable Arts. Room Sixteen were after Room Eight. Room Sixteen made Irish hats for the Wearable Arts parade.This is how we made the hats. The first day we made the middle part and we made shamrocks to decorate our hats. On day two Room Sixteen made the top. It was easy for us, but not Miss Lankow! Some of us had to finish the middle bit from yesterday.

Miss Lankow’s job was to stick the hats on the top of the middle bit. It was a very long time to do one hat for us; it took thirty minutes to stick the top bit on the middle of the hat.

Next we tried the parade out. It was beautiful, Miss Lankow said. The next day we tried it out again and we did better, Miss Lankow said. Then on Friday we went on the stage and we had to present our hats in the parade. We also had a photo at the end of the Wearable Arts. Miss Lankow said it was beautiful!

How to make Irish Hats

You will need:

green paper

glue

Irish symbols

brim and the top part

coloured paper

cardboard

pipe cleaners

scissors

First we got the big piece of green paper. Then we started to decorate the green paper.

Secondly we got some coloured paper to make the decoration, but mostly we used green paper because the Irish colour is green.

Some of us used pipe cleaners to stick out the top.
