Making Teddies Into Other Sorts of Teddies

Today we had a bit of fun with Leonardo da Vinci's tricks,  The children especially enjoyed the story of Leonardo sticking wings and horns on a lizard and pretending to his friends that he had found a dragon.  The kiddies used some of their cuddlies and gave them a makeover!

Monkey Girl transformed her mouse...

...into a human.

Panda Girl's tiger became a...

...CUTE dragon!

Ballet Girl's seal went for the...

...turtle look.

And The Boy's beloved duck...

...became the cutest elephant I have ever seen :)

Last week the children experimented with parachutes for teddies.  This week I wanted them to try da Vinci's parachute using his actual measurements and design.




Can you spot it?!  They worked beautifully!

Although The Boy's first attempt landed in a tree.

The past two days have also included a morning with friends...

...football for this dude...

...shortbread hearts made by Monkey Girl...

...smashing handwriting/poetry by Ballet Girl

And Tap Dancing, Modern Dancing, Gymnastics, Sea Cadets, Nature Study, Maths, English, Faith Work, Science and Spanish.
