Elmer the Elephant

After reading the story Elmer the Elephant to my class, we created these lovely patchwork elephants. I think they turned out nicely!

Umbrella People

These lovely umbrella people were a wonderful way to introduce the sound "u" in the classroom. They are simple but effective. A triangle shape for the body, umbrella shape on top and two legs at the bottom. Children used oil pastels for the colour and glitter for the rain.

First Day Back- Term 2

First Day Back Term 2- My school holidays were a "hoot"... Children wrote a recount of their holidays on A4 lined paper. I then created a template for an owl which they cut out and stuck on to their writing. Grey paper was folded and stuck to create fluffy feathers and blue paddy cake tins were used for the eyes. 

The Easter Bunny Visits

My gorgeous little class were do very excited about the arrival of the Easter Bunny in our classroom. The Easter Bunny, left the children eggs in their own hand-made baskets.

A foot print trail around the room (made out of chalk the night before) was very effective and marshmallow bunny tails left as gifts were enjoyed.

They children enjoyed an Easter Egg hunt in the playground and making Easter Bunnies in craft out of paper bags.

Valentines Day

I am excited to give these Valentines Day Lollipop flowers to my class on Friday the 14th. Very simple, but effective flower template with message and lollipop pushed through the centre. 

My students created these very simple and cost effective Valentines Day bookmarks. I picked up these paint sample cards from the local hardware store, hole punched the top and tied a ribbon onto them. The children then added glitter to them. 

My students enjoyed making these Valentines Day Heart people. Easy and effective! 

Spring!

Cherry Blossoms made for Spring! Crepe paper used for pink blossoms and branch template coloured in.

Golden Wattles created with yellow crepe paper for the flowers and green paper in the shape of leaves cut and pasted on.

Simple but effective! Spring clouds with rainbow writing "describing" the season of Spring!

First Day Back Term 3

First Day Back Term 3- My school holidays were a "blast"... Children wrote a recount of their holidays on A4 lined paper. I then created a template for a rocket which they cut out and stuck on to make their story look like it was part of the rocket. Streamers were used to give our rockets some extra power!
