First Day Back!

Everybody arrived back at school healthy and happy and ready for a new school year. We had an easy 'what did you do on the holidays?' sort of day today and will start in earnest tomorrow.

At my desk below

We made zig zag pictures today. We did this last year and it was a success so we tried it again.My example is below.

We used cheap calendars showing Australian scenes ( we used Australian animal calendars last year)

The kids turned them over and ruled 7-8 zig zag lines and then cut the pieces out. They then turned them around and glued them down onto black A3 cover paper, leaving  a gap between each slice of the picture.
