African huts

 An African Hut

We are learning all about Africa at present. We made these huts as we saw some pictures of some African huts. Firstly, we painted a toilet roll yellow. Then we cut out a circle brown (for the roof).Teacher showed us a clever way of turning our circle into a cone. Lastly, we glued on the paper roof and covered it with straw. A big thank you to Conor's dad for bringing in the straw to us. We were also able to use it in our nativity crib. Erika's mum will be coming in to us tommorrow to tell us some more about Africa. 

Working with Wally

We love when Wally and Dina come to visit our class.

We are learning how to make sure no one is left out when we play together.

Wally was great at asking to join in when he felt left out.

We really enjoy the role plays with Wally.
