We have a making place in our classroom where we can make things out of boxes and paper and glue and we can use scissors and staples and cellotape. We love making things!

Sketching a peacock feather
Shelley was sitting drawing in her sketch book a peacock feather, one by one we slowly came to her to see what she was up to. We saw her sketching and joined in.
A peacock feather is very delicate did you know...
