Wind Catchers

Wednesday, July 27, 2011

We recently read a poem called "Who sees the wind?". 
We discussed what kind of things we can see the wind do.


After reading our poem, we began to make wind catchers for our classroom. For this activity we needed: paper plates, a felt pen, scissors, oil pastels, paint and of course glitter! 

First we coloured in our paper plates using the pastels. Some of 1C chose to do patterns.












After the paper plate was covered in colour, we painted the back in one colour and then dipped them in glitter. These were hung up to dry overnight.


When the plates were dry, we cut along the line and hung them up.  They look spectacular in our room!


We have also added to our classroom by creating a 'weather' zone and writing weather poetry.
