Year 5’s last topic was about Mexico and we made maracas. First we had to design our maracas in our art books. Secondly we had to get a balloon and put wet tissue paper around it then we had to do three layers of papier mache and let it dry over half term. Then we sawed twenty five cm of a stick for the handle and put our names on it. Then we had to cut it open with a Stanley knife and put some different seeds in to make the sound. Some were too thin so they had to make it thicker. Then we painted it with one layer of paint for the background and let it dry. Finally we painted our design on to the maracas and let it dry.
