Week 6: Up In The Sky
This week we flapped our wings and learned all about birds! We discussed the different types of birds you can find and the different sounds they all make. We all decided Macaws are the prettiest birds because of all the different colors they have on their tails. We also learned that there are some species of birds that can't fly even though they have wings! Can you guess which birds those are?
After we guessed all the birds who can't fly we started to get ready for our paper airplane contest! I showed all the kids the basic way to make a paper airplane and then I had them play around with scissors and glue to see if it would help make their planes fly further!
We even had one plane fly across the whole field!
Then we played a couple different games of tag before it was time to go inside to make our craft.
This week we made our very own macaws using our hand prints:
Materials:
- Colored construction paper
- Scissors
- Markers
- Macaw stencil printed on white paper (you can find it here)
- Glue
Directions:
1. Have the kids cut out their macaw and then color it.
2. Trace their handprint on the different colors of construction paper (we used the colors of the rainbow)
3. Cut out the handprints from the paper.
4. Glue on to the bird stencil.
Everybody got really creative and all the results were fantastic!
Make sure you join us next week because things are about to get really slimy as we learn all about reptiles!
