To end our family learning week we had a fabulous time den building. The whole school took part in mixed age classes for the day. We designed flags, made models of dens then we went outside to build our dens. Thanks to all the grown ups who helped out. We had such an amazing day!
Today we had more fun all to do with sticks! We told each other our own stick stories using our story plans before going off to write them.
We worked in groups to design and build our own stick structures. It was very tricky!
We enjoyed playing a game of giant pick up sticks. It was such fun!
More stick week fun! First we went to the park and made a stick creature
Then we made a den for our stick creature. Thank you so much to the grown ups who came to help!
We looked at the work of a Scottish sculptor today, Andy Goldsworthy. We were inspired by his work and we used our sticks and natural materials to make our very own. What do you think?
Playing giant pick up sticks... You have to be really careful. We had to know which colour to choose and which colour we could get without disturbing the other sticks! It helped us counting in 2,5 and 10s too
