Great Day

Today we used an actual daffodil "borrowed" (okay, taken without permission) from a vase in the hallway as a model for us to use. We noted the colours on the daffodil and then collected the materials need to make one from paper.

The size of the green paper chosen was much too wide, so it was twisted to be the stem. The yellow lengths of paper were much too long when compared to the actual flower so when offered the choice of "do we rip or cut" the paper, "rip" was the response.

The grass was added last and a piece of a4 acted as a visual guide so the grass did not end up reaching to the sky.

He was very pleased with the result and when showing it to a classmate said "tah-dah!"




Proud amazement when one of my pupils clearly yelled "GOOD NIGHT!" at the end of the story. There is something to be said about long pauses. Definetly.
