Last week (before our Spring holidays – yeah!), my class finished up their study of weather/the seasons and the water cycle. This is one little craft project we did when we were learning about wind.ย
We just halved a piece of white card and used a range of materials to decorate it with anything to do with wind. Some used pastels, markers, cotton balls, scrunched up pieces of crepe paper to add to their trees etc. We then just folded the two ends together and stapled. Each student then cut out some streamers from a crepe paper roll (from the party section) and stapled them on. It was so easy to make!
We took them outside at various times and days so that we could determine which way the wind was blowing and estimated the strength of the wind. We hung them up across a clothes lines in our room and when the windows were open they would move in the breeze – it looked great!
Here’s the only picture of have of them ๐
One more week of Spring Holidays left! I can’t believe we only have 10 weeks of the school year to go!
