P4-7 used our Higher Order Thinking Skills to create wands with two methods today.

The children painted and decorated the sticks gathered from our woodland walk on Friday.

In addition, we decided to do a touch of wood working wand making.  We:

• Measured half way on a 60 cm dowling rod
• Sawed the rod in half using a junior hacksaw
• Sanded the ends smooth
• Carefully used a hot glue gun to create handles and patterns on our wands
• Painted and decorated the finished wands

The children independently worked safely and sensibly with equipment.
