Mophead and yarn dolls

This week we started reading a fabulous book called Mophead for our New Zealand 

Read Aloud. The book is about celebrating our differences and not trying to be the same as everybody else.

 

We made some dolls from wool and string:

Pipe cleaner names

This week we moved to 3 dimensional art and made our names with pipe cleaners. Some of us met the extra challenge and got our name to stand up by itself.

We made the most of the beautiful weather and took our mahi outside on Friday.
