Key Stage 2, ironically

I just thought I'd let you readers know about some of the things I've been getting up to recently.

As most of you know I'm doing PGCE teacher training, which is a hard slog I tells ya, but there are some perks, such as the opportunity to get creative and have fun with mates. As we do occasionally get to make cool things, especially on the D/T and Art side of things I thought I'd actually share some of the things I've made and done with y'all on here.

















This is actually something I made in Science. we were given a making task, with the brief of designing and making a plant. Above is my result - can you guess what it is? And yes it is finished!

It's grass!

I found a piece of pipe cleaner and some string for the roots and voila - we have a blade of grass, made in about a minute and seen here proudly perched on my Science folder. Despite my laziness and cunning I actually got smartest child in the class award for it because I'd ignored the common preconception that all my colleagues and fallen for and not designed a flower.

Fun eh? I'll try and remember to show you some more stuff soon(ish)
