Connor has done some "Tidy Art", too...
I am still getting exciting emails about Tidy Art ideas! See the post that started it all here . Connor sorted all his army toys and his brother Lachie has sent some photos through to me. Great work, both of you. It looks like you have all kinds of interesting bits and pieces in your collection, Connor.

More RSS Games Photos
Sandy - Ella's Mum - just sent me these photos and I really enjoyed seeing what else you all got up to at the RSS Games last Friday when you were not at running races with me. What a lot of different things you tried...

Reagan's Tidying Photos
Look what Reagan sent me. He has been doing some tidy art, too. First he tidied his sister's Bingo counters:
"Reags did such a good job we then opened some snakes and ladders lollies and grouped them into snakes / ladders and main colour groups and those with one and those with two colours. Then we had to sample one :)"


Yum, Reagan!
After that, Reagan sorted cupcakes into shapes:


Wow, Reagan! Thanks for sharing your "tidy art" with us!
Great sorting Reagan! Then he sorted a pack of Snakes and Ladders lollies.
Reagan's email said:"Reags did such a good job we then opened some snakes and ladders lollies and grouped them into snakes / ladders and main colour groups and those with one and those with two colours. Then we had to sample one :)"

Look at Harry's Tidy Photos!
Remember the photos from our last post? Harry read that and I just received a very EXCITING email. Here are Harry's cars:
He did some great "tidying" and now they look like this:
In his email, Harry told me:
"Harry decided he wanted to put his car collection in colours, (same as in the book). He has some big groups (red cars). Sometimes there is only one car in a group (purple car). Not even sure if you can call that a group??!! There is one group that Harry describes as the "shiny cars".
Thanks,
Sarah and Harry"
Awesome work, Harry! What else can you come up with, Little Einsteins? Maybe you can take some photos with Kelly?

Look at this cool book!
I just saw this book in our library this afternoon and it made me wonder what YOU would do! In the book, the author has taken photos of something normal looking and then tidied everything in the photo up! Look what they did to the parking lot:
What would a plate of fries and tomato sauce look like if you tidied it up?
Like This:
What a fun book!
So now I am wondering - what is something YOU can tidy up and take a photo of? Email a photo to me (carolyn@russellst.school.nz) and I will put it on the blog - I don't have to be at school to do that! It can be our after-school project! I hope to see your photos soon!
