Lucia found a craft idea she hadn't tried before in a library book. It involved making layers of tissue paper using glue to stick them together, before adding glitter on to the top layer. Lucia found she had to use a layer of glad wrap under the bottom layer so that it didn't stick to the table or the box lid she was making it in. Then Lucia made a flower template out of cardboard and used this to trace flower shapes. She cut them out and joined them onto wool to create a flower chain.
Next Lucia taught Anika how to make one. Teaching someone else how to do something is a great way to show extended abstract thinking (higher level thinking) as Lucia had to recount the instructions in sequence and explain each step in detail.
Now Lucia and Anika have a gorgeous decoration - it will brighten up any room! You can check them out in Kohara on the wall above our trophy cabinet.
great job girls!
