To begin our jungle animal theme, we played a class game called ‘Please Mr. Crocodile’.  The children displayed great sportsmanship as they carried out this ‘tag’ based game.

This week we learnt how to use a filing rasp and created patterns on our snake sticks; the children were amazed with the different colours that emerged as they filed away the different layers.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Another new skill we learnt was how to weave using ‘green’ sticks on a simple stick weaving frame.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We also loved comparing leaves as we made our jungle trees and painted sticks to represent some hissing snakes.  What a busy session, we were ready for our hot chocolate and snack at the end!
