You need:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Steps:<\/strong><\/p>\n 5, Embellish a small section of the overlap with beads, gems, small buttons, or whatever you desire. Dot a few more gems around the perimeters of the heart as shown in picture.<\/p>\n 6. Dot a few more gems around the perimeter of the larger part.<\/p>\n 7. Punch a hole through the cardboard, in top middle position and thread a 10 cm (or as long as you want it) ribbon through it.<\/p>\n 8. Find a good spot in mum’s favourite space and hang it up. Or you can wrap it up nicely and give it to mum on Mother’s day.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Activity 2: Photo Frame:<\/strong><\/p>\n You need:<\/strong><\/p>\n Steps:<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0<\/a> <\/p>\n Back view————————————————————————————————<\/p>\n Hi again guys!<\/p>\n I was meant to upload these activities earlier today but things didn’t quite go to plan, but as the saying goes ‘better late than never’, so here we go.<\/p>\n Activity 1:<\/strong><\/p>\n First is a Crossword Puzzle which I’m hoping some or most of you will have a go at. Puzzles are very good brain food, the earlier you start exercising your\u00a0 brains with puzzles, ( in addition to what you’re already doing) the better for your memory in later life.<\/p>\n \u00a0Activity 2: How to make a bird nest from cardboard<\/strong><\/p>\n Spring is in the air and so are the birds! Here’s how to get them flocking to your garden! This nest, made out of natural materials\u00a0 is sure to attract all our four feathered friends. This is the voice of experience speaking, trust me!<\/p>\n What you need:<\/strong><\/p>\n Steps:<\/strong><\/p>\n 6. Lift the top flaps and join them together to form a sloping roof. Refer to point #2<\/p>\n 7. Spread dry grass, leaves or other natural woody materials on top of the ‘roof as in pictures below<\/p>\n 8. Lastly,\u00a0 fill the inside of the nest\u00a0 with lots of grass to make it cushy.<\/p>\n You are now\u00a0 ready to go out into the garden to find the perfect spot for your bird nest. The birds will thank you for it!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Testing location<\/p>\n <\/p>\n ______________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n Next week is World Book Day and I imagine that you’ll all be\u00a0 looking to bury yourselves in your favourite books. Some of you will no doubt lose yourselves in the magical world of fairy tales. Hence the idea to make a castle\u00a0 so you can see the home of some of your favourite characters.<\/p>\n The\u00a0 model isn’t complicated to make. Improve on this one using your own design and choice of materials.<\/p>\n What you need:<\/p>\n Steps: Refer to image:<\/p>\n 11. Make the guards using lollipop sticks, paint and pompoms.<\/p>\n Finally, let the guards take their positions as in picture on the right.<\/p>\n Now for the trivia quiz:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Have a go at the quiz to test your knowledge of fairy tales. Answers will be provided next week.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n ______________________________________________<\/p>\n Hello everyone! Over the last few weeks, and in the course of your project on the Arctic region,\u00a0 I have read some blogs in which some of you have expressed\u00a0 concern over the possible loss of wildlife in the region, due to a number of commercial activities by big corporations. One example given was oil drilling.\u00a0 \u00a0I also recall someone mention ‘animal sanctuaries’ as one way to protect\u00a0 and conserve wildlife. That gave me an idea for this week’s activity:<\/p>\n HOW TO MAKE AN ANIMAL SANCTUARY\/RESERVE PARK\/ENCLOSURE\/HABITAT<\/strong><\/p>\n MATERIALS:<\/strong><\/p>\n CONSTRUCTION:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n THE GATE:<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n And finally…<\/p>\n Summer is around the corner, you might want to bring your hamsters, guinea pigs and others out for a bit of sunshine; so why not build them a sanctuary in your garden?<\/p>\n See you next time…Adios!<\/p>\n —————————————————————————————–<\/p>\n This week,\u00a0 the activity is for you to guess the identity of the animal from its own description.\u00a0 In the photo shoot below, there’s a selection of some of Africa’s\u00a0 most iconic animals; here, the chosen ones describe themselves in their own words, you must identify which animal it is, based on the description.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 1.\u00a0 With my looks, elegance, long lashes, and taste for the finer things in the wild, I’m sure I was a super model in my past life or will be one in the next life.<\/strong> 2. I am very famous! I’ve been in countless movies. I’m strong, proud, majestic looking, graceful in my movements and FEARLESS! I come from the royal family. I have long hair that covers my face.\u00a0 I’m a hunter by nature so meat is a huge part of my diet. One weakness I have though is that I’m quite lazy,\u00a0 I think. I\u00a0 sleep a lot,\u00a0 \u00a0up to 20 hours, preferably under a tree with a lovely shade. I call it resting; I prefer to work at night.<\/b><\/p>\n Who am I?<\/b><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n 3.\u00a0 I am\u00a0 elegant, graceful and beautiful and a little shy, I think. Well, some people say, anyway. Generally, I’m cool, calm, and collected but see when danger approaches, Ms. Brockie Donald would be proud of my gymnastic moves! I can jump and make dramatic leaps as high as 10 feet into the air, and jump distances of up to 33 feet to escape predators. I’m a fleet runner.<\/b><\/p>\n Who am I?\u00a0 \u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n __________________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n Inspired by the work you guys have been doing on the Inuit people, I thought it would be fun to try and make a model\u00a0 village. Found loads of videos on YouTube for ideas on how to make an igloo.\u00a0 I’m hoping you can also make your own Arctic village.<\/p>\n Materials\u00a0 used:<\/strong><\/p>\n Once you have all you need, think about how you want the setting to look\u00a0 and get constructing!<\/p>\n ———————————————————————————–<\/p>\n 22-01-2021:\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Spell My Name Fitness Challenge<\/strong><\/p>\n Hi guys! this is an easy fitness challenge tailored to your own name.<\/p>\n Take short breaks in between your work to refresh and re-energise your mind and body.<\/p>\n All you do is spell out your name and do the activity listed for each letter. The longer your name, the more exercise you’ll get and the fitter you’ll become.<\/p>\n Have fun!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n You’ll be relieved to know there’s no paper mache anything this week; instead I have a very simple piece of ‘art’ (roll your eyes here),\u00a0 using materials from your garden or nearest woodland. We’re making a Pine Cone Art Wall Hanging! You’ll never look at pine cones in quite the same way again after this. What I realised as I went along is that the quality of your cutting tools is important or you’ll struggle with cutting the pine cones into the shapes and sizes you may want.<\/p>\n Let’s get started…<\/p>\n PINE CONE WALL ART<\/strong><\/p>\n You need:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n acrylic paints and paint brush\u00a0 \u00a0 2. Y forked twigs\/branches\u00a0 \u00a03. pine cones\u00a0 4) piece of tree bark\u00a0 5. strong glue\/hot glue gun\u00a0 6) pair of strong scissors or secateurs\u00a0 7) piece of cardboard\u00a0 (23 x 35 cm) and\u00a0 A4 sized colored paper<\/p>\n STEPS:<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n _____________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I’ve got two crafts for this week; a paper mache (yes, again! sorry) vase and a painted twigs bouquet to go with the vase. And because you are all so good at paper mache-ing and painting, I’ll\u00a0 summarise the process with use of pictures and captions for each one.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I used a glass vase for the form. But obviously there are as many options for what you can use\u00a0 as there are individual tastes and likes. Dare to unleash the Picasso in you and see what happens…<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The woods are awash with all manner of dry twigs, sticks, tree bark, driftwood, leaves etc, right now. Collect a bundle of assorted\u00a0 \u00a0twigs and sticks. Think about the size and design\u00a0 of your vase and pick your materials accordingly.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Clean the twigs and sticks to remove mud and similar blemishes. Trim them as necessary so they’re all neat and tidy looking.\u00a0 Have a mental image of how you want your ‘bouquet’ to look and get painting accordingly. Once painted, leave them to dry.\u00a0 I painted mine in in stages adding patterns each time the twigs dried.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Arrange the twigs and sticks, one by one\u00a0 into your vase. You want to end up with a dramatic looking arrangement that ‘ll sit on your <\/span>favorite window sill, corner, or shelf. It’ll look better where there is\u00a0 light as that makes the colours look\u00a0 vivid and vibrant.<\/span><\/p>\n And there you have it, a cheap and cheerful product!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n With the scorching temps we’ve been having and more to come, thought a sun hat might be a good idea. Low cost, easily accessible materials and fun to make. Here’s how to:<\/p>\n \u00a0MAKE A PAPER MARCHE\u00a0 SAFARI\/SUN HAT<\/strong><\/p>\n You need:<\/p>\n You guys are so familiar with working with paper mache so we’ll cut down on the written instructions and show the steps in pictures, instead.<\/p>\n 4. Cut slits and turn them down as in picture here. This will make it easy to attach the top part to the brim part of the hat.<\/p>\n 5. Get cardboard and place bowl upside down on it. Draw around the bowl to create an inner circle. Draw another circle outside to create what will form the brim part of the hat.You can decide how wide you want your brim to be. My bowl circle was 21 cm and the outer circle was 27 cm.\u00a0 I used a dinner plate.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n 6. Apply glue to the tabs made in pic 2 above. Slip the brim over the top part so that it rests on the tabs. Press down to secure the two parts firmly together.<\/p>\n 7. Apply glue to the entire hat and get your wrapping paper and smooth it in place over the hat. I used light brown wrapping paper.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n 8. Use accessories (if necessary) to bring your hat to life. I used animal print wrapping paper to finish off.<\/p>\n Voila! Good to go – bring on the sunshine!<\/p>\n WALL ART<\/p>\n What you need:<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/dg\/public\/HolywoodHullabaloo\/uploads\/sites\/1956\/2021\/03\/12173415\/IMG_9063-1.jpg\")

\nI’m a vegan; and very picky about my food. I only eat the finest, freshest, and literally ‘top of the range’ foods.<\/strong>
\nI spend nearly all of my life standing up, even when I eat.<\/strong>

Hi everyone!\u00a0 It’s been good to see many of you outdoors doing all sorts of interesting things. Like you, I’ve been outdoors admiring beauty of nature and that’s how I got this idea…wasn’t sure what,\u00a0 in the beginning … but watch and learn…<\/h1>\n
