Grade 6 lanterns

Grade 6 Lantern Project

In grade 6 the theme of our Religion program has been to be a light for others.
Our symbol is a lantern. All of our units revolve around this theme.
A keepsake for the students is to make their own lantern at home
with the supervision/assistance of an adult.

Here are the steps:

1. Clean out a small can (i.e. soup or tomato can)
2. Fill the can with water and put it in the freezer
3. Think of a design of symbols you would like to put on the can
4. Draw the design on the can and using a hammer and nail, make little holes along the can
5. Paint or spray paint your can any colour. Write the date at the bottom.
6. Add 2 holes at the side to put a wire/string handle on (we can help with this at school)

Please have the lantern completed by Monday June 11, 2018 so we can
use them to decorate the gym for our year end mass.
