The Wax Museum

In Room 8 we have been exploring the concept of “Success” by researching the achievements of famous New Zealanders. Each child was asked to  select a different person to study and create a display about them. They also created a  backdrop, gathered together appropriate clothing and props, and on Thursday 14 March they dressed up and posed as their famous New Zealander in our version of a wax museum.  This project was done in conjunction with our buddy class in California whose wax museum on Famous Americans was on display at exactly the same time! Afterwards, the children created short videos of themselves posing as their famous New Zealander and explaining why they are famous. These videos have been shared with their American penpals.
