Happy St Patrick's Day

🍀 Happy St Patrick's Day 🍀

Today in KS we made leprechauns!

First, cut a paper plate in half.

Paint the edge of the paper plate orange (this is the beard). I used a sponge for faster and easier application. 

Draw a hat template, copy onto green card and add it to the top of the plate. 

Cut small pieces of yellow paper and add to the hat buckle. 

Draw a black square in the middle of the yellow piece of paper and colour the band of the hat black.

Finally, add eyes (template found online) and draw a smile.

Activity: Firstly buy a packet of red plastic/paper plates (or paint white plates red). 

Then draw a line down the middle of the plate using a marker pen (this is the wings).

Use round coloured stickers for the spots.

Draw a head template on red card (children can draw the eyes).

Discuss numbers 1-10. This is a good

opportunity to discuss 'Friends of 10' if your students are ready for this concept.

Have the children put 10 spots on their ladybugs and staple the head on.

Complete the worksheet (link provided).

Children ready, copy and write the sentence 'My ladybug has 10 spots' and then trace and write the numbers 1-10.

My class really enjoyed this activity!
