little angels

The littley's in FS1 (aged 3 & 4) made these simple craft stick angels today. Pleated/concertina'd wings,yellow thread hair and pipe cleaner halo's (unfortunately we couldn't lay our hands on any gold glittery ones).

 

 

arty science

Today, post-inspection we went a bit creative in science. To cover forces, pushes & pulls - we applied the same to a lump of clay each. We'll let them dry and then paint (or not). It enabled the kinaesthetic learners to engage a bit more and allowed the creatives to explore things away from the printed page. Oh, and we thoroughly enjoyed it as well.

Almost coral-like this piece. I can feel some 'temporary' metal paperclip sculptures coming on when we get to using magnets.

Jake's debut

Long time no blog - new job, house move have taken up my time. But, found a few moments to craft another peg 'doll'. I've christened him Jake (Jake the peg - geddit!) and am thinking of producing him in a variety of guises. When I can get around to it I'll put him in my etsy shop and see if anyone wants to give him a good home. As you can see from the pics, he can can stand without any artificial props, he can even do sit-ups and push-ups as befits a sportsman.
