This week in Science the children have been learning to group animals according to if they are a carnivore, herbivore or omnivore. Carnivores are animals that only eat meat, herbivores only eat plants and omnivores are animals that eat both meat and plants.
In DT we have started to sew our animal prints using a needle and thread. The children carefully attached the felt onto the paper using a basic running stitch, going up and down through both pieces to join them together.
The children have also practiced their weaving skills in provision to make a Handa’s Surprise basket. They took strips of paper and weaved them through the slits, going over then under and over then under to make their basket. This was great for their fine motor control. The children then added some decoration using felt tips.
