Themes explored:
identifying birds
knots
skipping rope
paint making
setting goals
felting
bug collection and bug houses
Skills embraced:
identifying our birds by their posture; how they sit when at rest
skipping rope: single, double, running under the rope, double dutch!
making paints with natural materials and a binding agent
setting a goal based on the animal personalities we have identified, and checking back in to see how we did
felting using a needle; we are felting our birds during Sit Spot, in a 3D shape. We are beginning with the body to get it's posture, then will add identifying features
Connection Questions: How does your bird sit on a branch or tree (their 'pose')? What was your favourite skipping move? Could you show me the knot you tied to make a skipping rope?
