How many of you are planning a holiday? Well we thought we would get in on the idea and plan all our craft activities around the theme of 'travel'. We hope you enjoy this term.
It was so busy on Thursday which was lovely! There were four new faces this week, so if you have been coming awhile, look out for the new people and make them feel welcome. (thank you for all those who did do this!) This is a wonderful characteristic of our group and I am so grateful for your contribution to it.
if you did miss out this week we were making these fantastic planes....all you need is a VERY long straw. (These straws are so much fun!! I got them from 'Snip' in Fleet, a bargain at £1 for the whole packet. There are so many things you could do with them.
Ok what else, string and an aeroplane template from DLTK. I copied and pasted and made it slightly larger and printed it on paper. Allow the children to decorate it and tie the string to the plane and the other end to the straw. If you can't find a straw then use what I was going to use...a garden cane.
The children will LOVE whizzing this around... other alternatives are butterflies, birds, rockets, fairies, any thing with wings. Go on have some... fun get creating...it is a nice easy and clean activity!!!
By the way our little blog here caught the eye of someone on California and they were so impressed that they gave us an honorary mention on their blog called 'Gatherings'!!!
